Blood Clot Prevention: Effective Tips to Stay Safe

7. Fast Heart Beat

If you are an adult, your normal heart rate should range between 60 and 100 beats per minute. However, other factors also influence what you may consider a normal heart rate. First, the idea of normal depends on your age, body size, and age. It also depends on what you are doing at the time you measure your pulse. Other factors include medications, air temperature, emotional state, and heredity. Because the range of heart rate factors is so varied, you always should be aware of how your own normal should appear. When a blood clot occurs, you certainly could experience an increased heart rate. The clot and poor oxygenation force your heart to work harder in order to keep your body performing properly. Do not assume that a sped up heart rate is normal.
