Okay I didn't mean to start an argument about whether or not I should
see a doc... I know that people's heart rates can sometimes increase by
anxiety/fear/nervousness, and caffiene etc. What I was looking for was
anyone's opinion on the rate where it becomes something of concern. I
never thought that 140-150 was ever something to be concerned about. If
i had... trust me, I'd have seen a doc. But since my friend thought it
might be a little on the high part of normal, I thought I'd ask opinions.
