Why does my heart rate go up so fast and take so long to go down? I have asthma and a veryyy healthy heart, but even when I go up a few stairs my heart rate skyrockets and makes it hard to catch my breath. I just ended my cross country season and I only had to have medical assistance twice. By the way I m only a freshman in high school and I m not over or under weight.
Hi, you have not mentioned your age, also I would like to know your blood pressure and what medicines you are taking for asthma, much asthma medicine can increase heart rate, also any asthmatic patient when exercises his heart rate will go up. In my opinion you should consult a good pulmonologist.
