Hamster	80 BPM isn't that fast. However, It's a bit high if it's beating that fast and you're resting. If you think you might have anorexia or any other eating disorders, tell someone close to you as soon as possible. It can save your life. You might have an anxiety disorder. That just means you panic for no reason. You might also have allergies. When I had allergies one year my heart was beating really fast and the school nurse asked me if i did Cocaine.

Double Dachshunds Owner	Not to worry. Your pulse will fluctuate with activity. Caffeine in sodas and coffee will do this too. Have you been exercising recently or watching/reading something scary or surprising? This will raise your pulse rate. You can journal your activities and look for a pattern that occurs just prior to your increased pulse rate. Give it a week or so. If you still have concerns, talk to your mom and/or doctor about this. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lisa G	have you been working out? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

zeldaslexicon	80 beats per minute is perfectly normal for someone your age. You do, however, sound like you are very anxious. What's freaking you out so bad???? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Nurse Betty	Could just be stress. Sometimes it is just a little fast. Keep away from stimulus things like caffeine for a while. If it keeps uo talk to your parents. But the more you think about it the more you are going to stress. Just relax and take a seep breath. You'll be OK little one = ) Take care Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Diamond	Just take deep breaths and calm down. Did u have alot of caffeine recently? That can increase ur heart rate. Maybe u are having a panic attack which is just alll in ur head neway. Why would u stop eating??? that makes no sense. Just take some deep breaths and chill out. u are fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Chocolate Chip Cookies	I think when I was about 12 years old, something similar to this happened to me except it felt like something inside of my chest was vibrating. I was at school at the time, so when I got home, I called my mom while she was at work and she rushed home to bring me to the doctor's. They told me my heart rate was 228 beats per minute, so that's what was causing the vibration. So they told us to go to the hospital. When we got there, they let me lie down and they asked me a bunch of questions like... - Did you drink enough water? - Did you drink/eat anything containing caffeine? - Did you eat lots of anything that was sweet? etc. They then injected something into the Ivy and it made my heart beat go back to normal. Turns out, I have SVT (Supraventricular Tachychardia). You can read about it here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supraventricular_tachycardia It happened a few more times after that, but my heart rate wasn't as fast, my guess would be that it was only around 90. I found that it only happened whenever I was outside in extreme heat or whenever I wasn't drinking enough water. Luckily, it doesn't happen anymore. I'm not totally sure if you have it, as I'm not a doctor, but I'm just suggesting it. Did it just happen out of nowhere? If you were running or carrying things that were heavy, I wouldn't worry about it. Sometimes a fast heart rate can be caused by drinking caffeine or eating too much sugar. I hope I helped! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mindlessbenny	Lay off the caffeine Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pixxieduste123	Ummm mine beats fast all the time its your hormones racing chill its nothing badd Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sassy Diva	Being scared and nervous about it is probably making it worse. Focus on taking slow, deep breaths. Listen to some soothing music or something to distract yourself. If it keeps beating fast and you can't calm down, ask your parents to take you to the doctor. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

The Joker	yeah dont have too much sugar...calm down also dont have too much coffee (too much caffeine) u prolly have a fast metabolism Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

FishStory	80 beats/minute is barely above normal. I won't tell you anything scary because there is nothing scary about a pulse rate of 80. Lots of things can cause a faster heart rate - exercise, caffeine, anxiety, illegal drugs, decongestants... A normal, at rest heart rate is around 70 BPM, so you are within normal limits. Athletes can have rates even lower, in the 40's or 50's. Even though it may feel like your heart is racing, you are fine. Some people's hearts do flip flops, skip beats, have extra beats, all day long and they are perfectly normal. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LuthienTinuviel	Normal is 60-80 beats per minute....but frankly, just being scared can make it go up! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LYNN W	hun 80 isn't fast at all..quit counting and freaking yourself out. You are normal. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Doesnt Matter	ur fine relax Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
