Heart Beat still feel a little weird 8 hours after running.

Posted , 3 users are following.

So late yesterday afternoon/ early evening I went running with my dad (which was the first time I did so in probably two months) and I felt nothing unusual as I ran, however my heartrate was pretty high which is usual but it still felt fast hours after I ran and as I was going to bed I felt like there was maybe heart palpitations. Last Tuesday I went to the doctor about heart palpitations possibly due to sleep apnea and I got my heart checked and even an EKG/ECG and my doctor said I was fine. But could running trigger something bad in my heart or is just because I don't run as often? Should I be worried? I am afraid I will die of cardiac arrest or something along those lines. I am 18 and have a bmi of 26 and my vitals were all normal at the doctor on Tuesday. Please help me out and thanks!

    You are too young to be worrying like this?  Why are you worrying if the doctor said everything was fine.  Do you think he's wrong, and if you do, can you back that up with your own medical knowledge to prove he is wrong? I would guess not.

    Trevor, a normal heart rate at rest (or when you wake up in the morning) is 60 - 100 beats per minute. If yours is much higher than that - at rest - you should let your doctor's office know. Best wishes.
