nohave Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 A friend says he wakes up every morning with a heart rate of between 100-130. Should he be concerned. He also tells me after a couple of hours usually but not always his heart rate goes back to normal which is between 60-80. I am a bit worried about him. Should he see a cardiologist???

Definitely without a doubt, but it could be a relatively easy diagnosis such as sleep apnea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yes, he should. Either see a cardiologist or book a complete physical inclusive of a stress test and mention the problem to the doctor at that time. If he hasn't had a full check up recently the latter may be the best approach. After reviwieng check up results the doctor might then refer to a cardiologist. Waking up with a heart rate above 100 is definitely not normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
