There are times when an elevated heart rate is appropriate, like when you are exercising. However, you should contact your doctor if you notice that your heart rate is high at other times for unknown reasons or if it is occurring frequently. Signs and symptoms of an elevated heart rate may include a sensation of a racing or pounding heartbeat, chest pain, shortness of breath, or a heart rate greater than 100 beats per minute in an adult. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
