Yeah, that "maximum heart rate" thing always confused me, because when I was 20 it calculated to 200 bpm, but when I exercised hard, it sometimes measured as high as 240 bpm, so I didn't see how 200 could be my maximum heart rate if I'd recorded it beating faster than that. It worried me a bit, so I got a heart rate monitor to figure it out and noticed my ranges were: up to 140 little to no perceptible effort 140-160 light effort 160-180 medium effort 180-200 intense effort I tried not to push myself beyond that point, because after reaching about 205 bpm, my heart rate would jump straight to about 240. At 240, I had to stop exerting myself, because what you said about the heart not beating efficiently at that point was true. At 240 I'd start to feel really light-headed and tired. It felt like I wasn't getting sufficient oxygen.
This was very informative. I recently had a cardiac ablation done last June because my heart at rest was 180bpm. I was put on oxygen while waiting for the procedure but didn't know why. But after watching your video I have a better understanding. Thank you for your hard work.
I'd prefer that to a failed cathether ablation attempt (three separate failed attempts in total, after that doctors gave up) where heart goes into fibrillation and they put you under to zap the heart into correct rhythm. They wait for you to wake up (loose term), continue burning and having intense pain 8/10. Heart goes into fibrillation and once again anesthetize to zap, wait for me to wake up and continue. Repeat once more and then they stop. Three hours of insane pain while not being able to do else than say that it hurts and everyhting is blurry and you have no concept of time. 1/10 Don't recommend! If all goes well and you have decent pain killers and your heart doesn't act weird during procedure, 10/10 would recommend!
First Cynic lol mine last 3 hours at 240. I didn't even go to the hospital for the first hour because it usually stops in a few minutes and I was being stubborn as I had those flair ups literally everyday. They pumped me full of drugs trying to find one that would work. I was once dose away from them just hitting me with the defibrillators when it finally came down thank god.
@@firstcynic92 svt sucks, my first attack lasted around 8 hrs @ 200+bpm. Had no clue what was going on. About the time they were getting ready to stop and restart my heart, it went to normal beats again
Having SVT (supraventricular tachycardia), my maximum rate has been around 300 which is a terrifying and extremely painful experience. I'm 19 and last year I went for a walk and ended up in A&E with shots of adenosine, verapamil and then 3 shocks with a defibrillator, none of which worked, to try cardioversion to normal rhythm as my heart was beating very irregularly at around 290bpm for 3 hours. Mega fun, do recommend. (Funny thing is I'm very hypothyroid, which in theory should cause my heart to beat slower than most people's so I should consider myself lucky, imagine what it would be like if I wasn't hypothyroid!)
It was a beautiful way you explained the cardiac output formula in simple and understandable language! You even explained that if the heart rate is too fast the stroke volume is smaller because of a lack of diastole!! That's why I love scishow!
Fiona M I have SVT (look it up) and while at work my heart rate jump from around 80 to 240. The machine we had at work to check heart rate couldnt read it, had to go to the hospital for the actual number. Took 3 hours to bring it down. 1 hour me being stubborn and having dealt with it for years so not wanting to go to the hospital and thinking it would come down shortly it usually only lasted 5 minutes max, 2 hours in the hospital with a defibrillator strapped to me "just in case" while I was being pumped with drugs to try and bring it down. Luckily the defibrillator wasn't necessary as I would've been conscious for the shock. I was 18 and still in high school at the time. If you thought 204 was bad, the extra 36 bpm brings a pain to the back of your throat, I lost vision before during the flair ups, your heart starts to hurt from the speed, loss of balance, light headed more than I've ever been otherwise, and you can get a numbness/tingling from the reduced amount of oxygen like they mentioned in the video. Most people with svt may have rare flair ups (1 a year to 1 every few years from what I've been told) but I had them everyday usually for a few seconds to just a few minutes.

This is heart science though, not poop science. (Then again, one of the byproducts of recycling blood cells is a compound that ultimately makes poop brown. I don't wanna know what process would ever make blood brown, if such a process even exists.)
Dont know the technical terms but i've been to the limit, was around 12 when my heart went into a ever increasing loop. Luckily, at the same time i lost consciousness, heart resetted into the normal rhythm (happened right after we got into a hospital). Later they found out i have WPW. On a sidenote, i found out the bad way cannabis is not good for me. Triggered an episode and spent on watch in hospital that birthday, all the while the was beating constant 150bpm. Last time took that stuff.
Kinda freaking me out that my used to go 200+ when I working out in high school, like power-lifting, track, so on. It used to joke that I was going to turn into the Hulk because in the 2008 Hulk movie, Bruce Banner would turn into the Hulk once he hit 200 BPM. But now as I look back, it probably wasn't good for me. Now that I'm more of an endurance athlete. My average high is no more than 150 and that's when I'm freaking really going after it.
My grandma has heart problems and had a resting heart rate of about 250 beats per minute before taking medicine. She literally had to not run or else she probably would of had a heart attack...
Sounds as if your heart reacts, just the pacemaker is there as a failsafe to prevent it from going too slow in some weird event, rather than actually needing it all the time But I'm not a doctor though, and have almost no real-life knowledge about that kind of thing, so take it with a grain of salt
I was born with something called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome where some weird thing happened to my heart that made my heartbeat shoot up to 150-200bpm just while sitting still. One time I was out running a 3km route and it happened and I thought for sure that I was going to die as my heartbeat was so insane I almost passed out.
Tachycardia is brutal. I have POTS which isn’t a heart condition (it’s an autonomic nervous system condition) and its symptoms mimic WPW syndrome. My resting heart rate is 70 but if I stand up, it’s 130. Walking up stairs can get it past 180.
I was treated for mine through ablation, it being a more or less simple procedure, I can't imagine your condition can be treated since it's the nervous system
False precision. No equation will ever be very accurate as there are simply too many variables and individual variation. Find out what's best for you specifically regardless of how it compares to guidelines.
For the longest time my resting heart rate was like 115. I got hospitalized when it got over 150 (resting) but there wasn’t anything “wrong” beyond that. When I did a stress test it got up to 190+ and they called it out of fear but I felt fine. I assume it’s still like that but again no one found anything “wrong” beyond its speed.
Sometimes, I go for runs. I run at medium pace, 40 steps running, 30 steps walking, until I'm tired. I rest pretty well, then I do it again. I top it off with an anaerobic run, where I accelerate as fast as I can to the fastest speed I can, and try to maintain that pace for as long as possible. If you don't stay committed in willpower, you might cave a few seconds earlier than you can run consciously. After that barrier's been breached, I start tuning out my tiredness and aches with what is more or less meditation. After several seconds of that, my arms start to go cold and they fall asleep as I'm running. That's about the time I stop. As an amateur short distance runner... Should I be worried when my arms start falling asleep? Or is that something many runners deal with?
I'm 23, but if my watch is correct, my heart rate peaks around 200 -210 sometimes in timed races, especially running up hills. I don't know if that's good or bad, but I usually slow down at that point because I don't want to throw up during a race again.
I'm of a rare type that can control heartbeat. How, I don't know, but it's basically like trying to describe being blind, or color blindness. Qualia is the name for it. It's impossible to describe a sensory input, only that you agree that what you and others see is [description]. I can just control it in the same way you could lift your arm. I remember freaking a student nurse out once by having a 210 beat while sitting in a bed. I will always remember the look on her face lol. Hey, I was helping her, she resorted to using her hand to feel my pulse, for all she knew the electronics were faulty. She did good. Showed her after though lol Equally back in school days in gym room, friend was peddling on bike, I'm sitting on it, I could make my heartbeat go higher than his at the maximum effort he could muster. Gym teacher laughed. It still freaks me out even now. I try not to do that often. I worry I might accidentally, you know, kill myself. Being at the 200 range regularly basically eats away at your maximum age without any real fitness gain. Hearts, the worst muscle organ. It ain't easy being a genetic freak of an already genetic freak of nature. (humans in general) Onward to death by 40. 9 years to go!
I can't comment on whether your "power" for lack of a better word is normal, but you can do serious harm to yourself if you ramp your heart up too hard or for too long, you'll induce a heart attack. As long as you dont push it too far, you shouldnt have much to worry about as far as I'm aware, but I'm not a doctor, take my advice with several million gains of salt
lol when i was supposed to be drafted to the german military i was sent to a kardiologist because i'm a little overweight and have an a bit jumpy bloodpressure... they sat me on a bike and kept cranking up the resistance whilst monitoring my heartrate. tops i reached was 220 or so! now i know why the doc was so amazed when i pulled this off....
Toridan 240 was my highest MEASURED rate. Pretty sure I've gotten close to that 300 as well but only for a few minutes. Definitely exhausting. SVT over here.
Avoid certain performance-enhancing stimulants before working out (those pre-workout drinks) . I've had a heart rate spike to 224 during a ride because of it. You can tell something is wrong, as you seem to lose strength and feel strange. Oddly, there is no great sense of pressure in the chest, and the only way I was fully aware was because of the heart monitor. Without it I might have thought I was simply imagining things and kept going. It took about 5 minutes off the bike, standing motionless, to get the heart rate to suddenly drop down to 135. Always use a heart monitor when training, marathons or bike tours.
Was hospitalized when an arrhythmia was agitated and I got up to ~270 BPM for a few minutes; I was 19 at the time. Do not try to push yourself to this number.
King Clint I can relate, I'm 19 and I went for a walk and ended up hospitalised as I have SVT and have regular attacks and my heart rate typically goes around 290 during these attacks and can last hours and hours, this one just wouldn't go away so went to hospital. They kept me in for 3 days and was finally put on a surgery waiting list, though that was almost a year ago.
When you mentioned the autonomic nervous system, I came to think of something my yoga teacher told me, which I don't really believe. They said that with the practise of nadi shodhana pranayama (a method of altering which nostril you breath through) you can control your autonomic nervous system. They also said that there are studies proving that this is true. Though I do understand that the method may help you relax, and therefore making the heart beat slower, I don't really believe that there are studies proving this (partly because I can't find any studies proving this). Therefore I wonder, could you make a video talking about if it's possible to control the autonomic nervous system, and if there are any studies suggesting that it's possible to do it, and, if so, how much is possible to control it?
When I was 12, I had a heart monitor for 48 hours because I felt like my heart was always beating faster than it should have at random moments (even during rest). I remember pushing the button on the monitor to indicate that I was feeling a faster than normal heart rate while riding my bike. A few days later my doctor told me that my heart was beating at 300bpm for just over 3 minutes and I was diagnosed with SVT (Supra ventricular tachycardia). I was operated twice in Montreal, Canada and have been better since.
I've always wondered... as a person with anxiety, my heart rate can jump due to adrenaline, regardless of if I'm relaxing or active. Does the overworking of my heart make it stronger or does it begin to tire out?
None. It usually causes damage if it is there for a long time. The fluctuations because of anxiety are considered normal, it can increase extrasystoles and thus palpitations or exacerbate any preexisting arrythmia or coronary disease for example.
Your body is more that prepared to handle any adrenaline or cortisol injection your fight or flight response manages to release. If you have a structurally healthy heart, all these palpitations and skipped beats are nothing but annoying symptoms of an overly-excited amygdala. If you have ANY of these, for the love of god go for a check up, for peace of mind. Stress is your trigger, therefore focus on that; keep doing sports and being active Conquer fear and you'll be free, you have my word Good luck
It wont make it stronger as you not supplying the muscle with the added oxygen needed. Otherwise taking amphetamines would be 'good' for your heart, this is the conclusion I came up with anyway haha.
The highest I've seen on the treadmill is 140 bpm. And my resting heart rate is close to 100 bpm. Of course my medication has raised my bpm and blood pressure abit. But still kinda high resting rate. I definately didnt write this comment to brag about my gym routine.
do you ever do sprints though? Most treadmills only go up to 20 or 25 km/h, and sprinting is faster than that for many. Sprints or 30 seconds - 2 minute hard-as-you-can-go efforts will bring you to your max heart rate usually.
Well it *can* go 300 bpm if you go into V-tach or SVT, but I think they were asking about the maximum rate for a physiological response to exercise. (220-Age is a pretty good estimate). You really don't have to worry about your heart beating too fast to fill unless you have a heart disorder.
@@mathiaspoupard5613 I'm a cyclist and 18yrs old. 140 for a couple of hours is an endurance workout. If you're at 140bpm at rest, that's a different problem. 140 during a workout is completely normal and healthy
The Cambridge Science Festival Chorus is singing songs about science this weekend and next in Cambridge MA! Check out familyopera.org for more info, also Michael Aranda is the coolest!
No worries. It is, but QT syndrome causes Bradycardia. There is a careful examination of meds but you just get used to the always speeding heart rate. Its an utter annoyance to fall asleep though.
I'm curious how oxygen availability and dehydration factor into this - in particular, I know the highest heart rate I've measured is 210 bpm (at age 24), but that was while playing soccer one day after returning from a hike with a 2k (foot) elevation change during which I didn't drink enough water (not super smart, I know), and I felt very unwell and stopped playing and drank water. More generally this video pointed out that you don't exceed certain heart rates because it 'defeats the purpose', but bodies aren't teleological, so I wonder what conditions would subvert or override whatever regulations systems are in place, and how.
I've always found the measurements to be a tad off, but a good estimates for what my heart rate normally does. Which I suppose is kind of the point, it's an average baseline. For those curious, I'm 29, male, and while sprinting, I've been able to push about 212bpm.
I once had a heart rate of almost 300 beats per minute. I almost died. I spent 8 days in the hospital as doctors tried to keep it down. They said if it kept up, my heart would have ended up just giving up. It was like my heart was running a marathon continuously, non stop. There’s only so long it can do that.
i remember when i went for a run and just immediately felt weak and when my wife who's a nurse checked me out she immediately noticed my fast heart rate so we called 911....probably the craziest part of the whole night was getting to see the paramedic go ghost white when he checked and then looked at me and said "your pulse rate's like 200 man, you're going with us" and just immediately put me on fluids in the ambulance
Mine varies a lot! Why don’t you make a video on the alternative theories about the Universe on RUclips this would be interesting and good for the RUclips community!!!
At 46 I got my heart rate to 192 beats per minute home alone so I stopped running and sat down so I wouldn't need CPR or something similar lol. I had never gotten it above like 175 before that day and fear factor definitely kicked is as my chest was POUNDING and 18 beats over the 220 minus age was above my comfort zone but I understand what you mean it's not that you can't because I wasn't falling over yet it's just that you shouldn't.
I had a 70 years old patiant who had 230 bpm non stop for about 2 days, he was at intensive care. So I think it's possible to go a bit further, but condition of heart muscle after that its rather harsh.
I had severe chest pains. Went to the hospital and my heart rate was ~240. I had to be on saline for over 3 hours for rehydration. Overall a terrible experience to let your heart beat faster than it needs.
When I was 18 and trying to join the Army, they had me and a few people do a heart stress test by having us step up and down from a platform in beat to a beep on a radio. We were all wearing heart monitors for safety and they forced me to stop because the heart monitor read 437 bpm. All the doctor observing said was that that was impossible and had me try a different monitor that still had me reading about 400 after the time it took to change it out and me just standing there for 30-40 seconds.
My 437 isn't even the highest ever recorded, ruclips.net/video/AN-XxI6SgE8/видео.html Besides, I'm just stating what the equipment said I was at, there could have always been faulty equipment or that it simply wasn't able to accurately record my heart rate.
Woah that’s scary… I was about 27 when I had something bad happen and it raised my heart rate up to 202. I only know because I was wearing my galaxy active watch.
I was once very sick (strep throat that had been left untreated cuz heyyy no insurance) and when I was rushed to the ER my heart rate was 210 BPM even though I was lying down.
I have had 2 cardiac arrest at 34, so I now have a defibrillator. If my heartbeat goes at 220+ for 20 min, it goes off. Or if it ever reaches 250, that also triggers it. Maybe that can give some sort of gauge
I’m 16 and my heart rate just skyrocketed to 250, while I was running tracks for extra credit and talking with a friend who as well run tracks. After running tracks about possibly 10-20 minutes of sitting in class I was struggling to breathe and I asked the teacher to send me to the nurse office, got there told him I’m having hard time breathing and he checked me out. He got the thing that checks your heart rate and I was at 190’s sometimes reaching 205-209 for a few minutes. I’ve been in the nurse office over 15 minutes and still no sign of it slowing down. They checked my right side and 200-210. Then it went to 113-125 for a while, asked me if I wanna go home or stay in school for a while. My dumbass said I think I’ll be fine then out of nowhere 220 heart rate. Yup he surely called my granddad to come pick me up. I’ve never been into tracks and don’t run often. Do have ADD but not hyperactive, don’t know if I have allergies but I don’t think that’s what the problem coming from. Right now I’m getting ready to see a doctor who can help me with this, know panicking is bad but hell.. I’m sure want to panic.
Ask a POTSIE this question. We are always topping our old highest scores 😂😂 (POTSIES are patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. It can be disabling and often causes us to pass out, and for our heartbeats to jump sometimes 20bpm, sometimes 150bpm higher in a matter of seconds just from moving.)
My Heart rate usually ends up capping around 420.69 BPM during my Most extreme workouts
Not bad..... this episode was just begging for your comment
When you say 420.69BPM, BPM stands for Beats Per Millisecond.
I can relate, bruh.
Don't worry, everyone starts as a biginer! With practice you will get to 1000BPM soon!
then your either a robot or have 2-3 hearts

It worried me a bit, so I got a heart rate monitor to figure it out and noticed my ranges were:

At 240, I had to stop exerting myself, because what you said about the heart not beating efficiently at that point was true. At 240 I'd start to feel really light-headed and tired.

well at least you didn't catch him red handed.
My heart rate usually ends up just stopping when i walk to the kitchen
If you have a heart arrhythmia like I do your maximum is around 300. Buuuuut a severe case of cardiac arrest follows shortly after.
Not to be confused with a “minor” cardiac arrest!
Aren’t you confusing arrhythmia with atrial fibrillation?
You really don't want fibrillation! Way faster than anything here! It's kinda scary, believe me!! Ha!
Dont know the technical terms but i've been to the limit, was around 12 when my heart went into a ever increasing loop. Luckily, at the same time i lost consciousness, heart resetted into the normal rhythm (happened right after we got into a hospital). Later they found out i have WPW.

dragozal Atrial fibrillation is not the only arrythmia that causes the heart to beat too fast.

My minimum heart rate is 55 beats per minute. My pacemaker is set to maintain that rhythm.
Sounds as if your heart reacts, just the pacemaker is there as a failsafe to prevent it from going too slow in some weird event, rather than actually needing it all the time
But I'm not a doctor though, and have almost no real-life knowledge about that kind of thing, so take it with a grain of salt

Tachycardia is brutal. I have POTS which isn’t a heart condition (it’s an autonomic nervous system condition) and its symptoms mimic WPW syndrome. My resting heart rate is 70 but if I stand up, it’s 130.
Walking up stairs can get it past 180.
I was treated for mine through ablation, it being a more or less simple procedure, I can't imagine your condition can be treated since it's the nervous system
Using ACSM data: For a more accurate equation, use 206.9 - (age * 0.67).
Less easy to do mentally, but slightly more accurate of an estimate.
Emperor Zerbo less easy :)
False precision. No equation will ever be very accurate as there are simply too many variables and individual variation. Find out what's best for you specifically regardless of how it compares to guidelines.
I can sustain 200 bpm for almost a minute while riding a bike as a 20 year old, and it always feels really euphoric
That is an Awesome video ...! Very Nice .... ! Keep going ..
For the longest time my resting heart rate was like 115. I got hospitalized when it got over 150 (resting) but there wasn’t anything “wrong” beyond that. When I did a stress test it got up to 190+ and they called it out of fear but I felt fine. I assume it’s still like that but again no one found anything “wrong” beyond its speed.
Sometimes, I go for runs. I run at medium pace, 40 steps running, 30 steps walking, until I'm tired. I rest pretty well, then I do it again.
I top it off with an anaerobic run, where I accelerate as fast as I can to the fastest speed I can, and try to maintain that pace for as long as possible. If you don't stay committed in willpower, you might cave a few seconds earlier than you can run consciously.
After that barrier's been breached, I start tuning out my tiredness and aches with what is more or less meditation. After several seconds of that, my arms start to go cold and they fall asleep as I'm running. That's about the time I stop.
As an amateur short distance runner... Should I be worried when my arms start falling asleep? Or is that something many runners deal with?
I'm 23, but if my watch is correct, my heart rate peaks around 200 -210 sometimes in timed races, especially running up hills. I don't know if that's good or bad, but I usually slow down at that point because I don't want to throw up during a race again.
I'm of a rare type that can control heartbeat.
How, I don't know, but it's basically like trying to describe being blind, or color blindness. Qualia is the name for it. It's impossible to describe a sensory input, only that you agree that what you and others see is [description].
I can just control it in the same way you could lift your arm.
I remember freaking a student nurse out once by having a 210 beat while sitting in a bed.
I will always remember the look on her face lol. Hey, I was helping her, she resorted to using her hand to feel my pulse, for all she knew the electronics were faulty. She did good. Showed her after though lol
Equally back in school days in gym room, friend was peddling on bike, I'm sitting on it, I could make my heartbeat go higher than his at the maximum effort he could muster. Gym teacher laughed.
It still freaks me out even now.
I try not to do that often.
I worry I might accidentally, you know, kill myself.
Being at the 200 range regularly basically eats away at your maximum age without any real fitness gain. Hearts, the worst muscle organ.
It ain't easy being a genetic freak of an already genetic freak of nature. (humans in general)
Onward to death by 40. 9 years to go!
Kris Johnstone so you can change it by thinking of a certain rate?
Or you have to constantly remember to adjust it to normal range?
If that is true you should post a video, it couldn't pass unnoticed
I can't comment on whether your "power" for lack of a better word is normal, but you can do serious harm to yourself if you ramp your heart up too hard or for too long, you'll induce a heart attack.
As long as you dont push it too far, you shouldnt have much to worry about as far as I'm aware, but I'm not a doctor, take my advice with several million gains of salt
sounds like fanfict
I couldn't find anything about this with qualia would love to read more about this king
Damn, I've seen my heart rate go up to 212 if I've been running for almost 40 mins and I sprint the last 2.
Oh man... That cut away at 1:28 really caught me off guard. I don't remember the last time I felt so uncomfortable.
I had Super-Ventricular Tachycardia when I was a teenager, my bpm was 250 at one point during an episode.
That realistic heart model was sick...
...In every sense of the word.
I'm supprised you guys didn't mention SVTs and the like at all.
sometimes my resting heartrate shoots up to 240
it sucks.
Yall should do a video about why scratching bug bites makes the itching feel better.
lol when i was supposed to be drafted to the german military i was sent to a kardiologist because i'm a little overweight and have an a bit jumpy bloodpressure... they sat me on a bike and kept cranking up the resistance whilst monitoring my heartrate. tops i reached was 220 or so! now i know why the doc was so amazed when i pulled this off....
Pretty sure I've gotten close to 300. Yay tachycardia. It's exhausting.
Toridan 240 was my highest MEASURED rate. Pretty sure I've gotten close to that 300 as well but only for a few minutes. Definitely exhausting. SVT over here.
I started crying bc I was trying to find my pulse but I couldn’t and I started getting mad and I
Thought I died tbh
Avoid certain performance-enhancing stimulants before working out (those pre-workout drinks) . I've had a heart rate spike to 224 during a ride because of it. You can tell something is wrong, as you seem to lose strength and feel strange. Oddly, there is no great sense of pressure in the chest, and the only way I was fully aware was because of the heart monitor. Without it I might have thought I was simply imagining things and kept going. It took about 5 minutes off the bike, standing motionless, to get the heart rate to suddenly drop down to 135. Always use a heart monitor when training, marathons or bike tours.
I've definitely reached my max during my panic attacks..
haha, been there. never again.
And you're still here, are you not? so F**k those panic attacks, you're Invictus!
taste the rainbow go away ✌️🏻
He's being nice, man :)
Georg Voldemar Tomusk he doesn't get it yet...
Was hospitalized when an arrhythmia was agitated and I got up to ~270 BPM for a few minutes; I was 19 at the time. Do not try to push yourself to this number.
King Clint I can relate, I'm 19 and I went for a walk and ended up hospitalised as I have SVT and have regular attacks and my heart rate typically goes around 290 during these attacks and can last hours and hours, this one just wouldn't go away so went to hospital. They kept me in for 3 days and was finally put on a surgery waiting list, though that was almost a year ago.
I have EDS and POTS, if I try to exercise my heart hits 200-240 bpm. So I'm not allowed to exercise that much
So your either under 20 years old or you're dead.
Please do a video on whether Bluetooth is harmful or not.
Very nicely done. Good insight!
When you mentioned the autonomic nervous system, I came to think of something my yoga teacher told me, which I don't really believe. They said that with the practise of nadi shodhana pranayama (a method of altering which nostril you breath through) you can control your autonomic nervous system. They also said that there are studies proving that this is true. Though I do understand that the method may help you relax, and therefore making the heart beat slower, I don't really believe that there are studies proving this (partly because I can't find any studies proving this). Therefore I wonder, could you make a video talking about if it's possible to control the autonomic nervous system, and if there are any studies suggesting that it's possible to do it, and, if so, how much is possible to control it?
.
Have you seen Etika's reaction to smash bros ultimate stream? He gets so hyped he hits 187 bpm. (He's 28)
Seeing Wigger's diagram in a RUclips video certainly got my heart up to about 200 (and that was tecnically at rest).
When I was 12, I had a heart monitor for 48 hours because I felt like my heart was always beating faster than it should have at random moments (even during rest). I remember pushing the button on the monitor to indicate that I was feeling a faster than normal heart rate while riding my bike. A few days later my doctor told me that my heart was beating at 300bpm for just over 3 minutes and I was diagnosed with SVT (Supra ventricular tachycardia). I was operated twice in Montreal, Canada and have been better since.
The perfect video for the perfect heartthrob. Micheal has me reaching my maximum heart rate
I've always wondered... as a person with anxiety, my heart rate can jump due to adrenaline, regardless of if I'm relaxing or active. Does the overworking of my heart make it stronger or does it begin to tire out?
CiderDivider bookmarked
Curious too
None. It usually causes damage if it is there for a long time. The fluctuations because of anxiety are considered normal, it can increase extrasystoles and thus palpitations or exacerbate any preexisting arrythmia or coronary disease for example.
Your body is more that prepared to handle any adrenaline or cortisol injection your fight or flight response manages to release.
If you have a structurally healthy heart, all these palpitations and skipped beats are nothing but annoying symptoms of an overly-excited amygdala.
If you have ANY of these, for the love of god go for a check up, for peace of mind.
Stress is your trigger, therefore focus on that; keep doing sports and being active
Conquer fear and you'll be free, you have my word
Good luck
It wont make it stronger as you not supplying the muscle with the added oxygen needed. Otherwise taking amphetamines would be 'good' for your heart, this is the conclusion I came up with anyway haha.
I wish they had said something about ventricle fabulation.
Very Helpful. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I woke up from a bad dream when i was younger, and my heart was beating at least twelve times a second.
I've just had one long uninterrupted beat for over 6 months now
The highest I've seen on the treadmill is 140 bpm. And my resting heart rate is close to 100 bpm. Of course my medication has raised my bpm and blood pressure abit. But still kinda high resting rate.
I definately didnt write this comment to brag about my gym routine.
do you ever do sprints though? Most treadmills only go up to 20 or 25 km/h, and sprinting is faster than that for many. Sprints or 30 seconds - 2 minute hard-as-you-can-go efforts will bring you to your max heart rate usually.
What our mouth does not produce saliva
Well it *can* go 300 bpm if you go into V-tach or SVT, but I think they were asking about the maximum rate for a physiological response to exercise. (220-Age is a pretty good estimate). You really don't have to worry about your heart beating too fast to fill unless you have a heart disorder.
I have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (dysautonomia). My heart knows no limits 🙃😈
mutants..... :P
once had heart palpitations at night and anxiety. couldn't sleep and there was a clock ticking. was at like 140 bpm for a good 1hour
My highest was around 160 also for around an hour and I could feel my heart beat the whole time. It was horrible.
@@mathiaspoupard5613 140 or 160 for that time (depending on age) isn't bad at all.
@@InvestingEasy_ I'm 14
@@mathiaspoupard5613 I'm a cyclist and 18yrs old. 140 for a couple of hours is an endurance workout. If you're at 140bpm at rest, that's a different problem. 140 during a workout is completely normal and healthy
@@InvestingEasy_ mine was at 160 and decreased slowly over an 1 hour period

My heartbeat when i listen to camellia remixes: 𝙄𝙏'𝙎 𝙊𝙑𝙀𝙍 9000!!!
My heartrate when I listen to 2021 bpm song:
Ok so my great great great great great great grandparent's max heart beat is 0. It just makes so much sense
My Tachycardia surprisingly balances out my QT Syndrome.
I don't mean to be obnoxious but that sounds like a dangerous mix.
No worries. It is, but QT syndrome causes Bradycardia. There is a careful examination of meds but you just get used to the always speeding heart rate. Its an utter annoyance to fall asleep though.
Already been diagnosed. That's why I couldn't take medications as a teenager as it was a hassle to fiddle which ones would be best.
I'm curious how oxygen availability and dehydration factor into this - in particular, I know the highest heart rate I've measured is 210 bpm (at age 24), but that was while playing soccer one day after returning from a hike with a 2k (foot) elevation change during which I didn't drink enough water (not super smart, I know), and I felt very unwell and stopped playing and drank water.
More generally this video pointed out that you don't exceed certain heart rates because it 'defeats the purpose', but bodies aren't teleological, so I wonder what conditions would subvert or override whatever regulations systems are in place, and how.
Pretty sure dehydration adds to a higher heart rate potentially
my heartrate jumped to like 240 once because of a panic attack... i was not exercising
I want to know.... Can you have lightning in vibrant colours like green? And how is that caused?
Scishow pumps information. I think there is limit, but it's by physics.
Nearly 5 million subscribers :D
I've always found the measurements to be a tad off, but a good estimates for what my heart rate normally does. Which I suppose is kind of the point, it's an average baseline. For those curious, I'm 29, male, and while sprinting, I've been able to push about 212bpm.
I once had a heart rate of almost 300 beats per minute. I almost died. I spent 8 days in the hospital as doctors tried to keep it down. They said if it kept up, my heart would have ended up just giving up. It was like my heart was running a marathon continuously, non stop. There’s only so long it can do that.
i remember when i went for a run and just immediately felt weak and when my wife who's a nurse checked me out she immediately noticed my fast heart rate so we called 911....probably the craziest part of the whole night was getting to see the paramedic go ghost white when he checked and then looked at me and said "your pulse rate's like 200 man, you're going with us" and just immediately put me on fluids in the ambulance
I've seen an OAP with a heart rate of 220bpm in A&E (ER).
My heart only beats 15 times per minute.
It's called coma my man
Mine varies a lot! Why don’t you make a video on the alternative theories about the Universe on RUclips this would be interesting and good for the RUclips community!!!
At 46 I got my heart rate to 192 beats per minute home alone so I stopped running and sat down so I wouldn't need CPR or something similar lol. I had never gotten it above like 175 before that day and fear factor definitely kicked is as my chest was POUNDING and 18 beats over the 220 minus age was above my comfort zone but I understand what you mean it's not that you can't because I wasn't falling over yet it's just that you shouldn't.
It’s like redlining your car
Hmm.. I used to have around 220 bpm while doing a 5 km running in sports class.
I had a 70 years old patiant who had 230 bpm non stop for about 2 days, he was at intensive care. So I think it's possible to go a bit further, but condition of heart muscle after that its rather harsh.
Explain Giants Causeway please i love you guys
I thought he’d mention your heart rate after being stung by a box jellyfish...that’s the fastest heart rate I’ve ever heard of...
Tech doing tartarus: no

@@dafyliz I didn't know he got 204 in that wow
That thumbnail. 'Dorable
I know a guy that overexerted so hard he stopped his heart. Medically dead for 7 minutes, then the paramedics brought him back.
happened to me 4 times so far lol .
I had severe chest pains. Went to the hospital and my heart rate was ~240. I had to be on saline for over 3 hours for rehydration. Overall a terrible experience to let your heart beat faster than it needs.
When I was 18 and trying to join the Army, they had me and a few people do a heart stress test by having us step up and down from a platform in beat to a beep on a radio. We were all wearing heart monitors for safety and they forced me to stop because the heart monitor read 437 bpm. All the doctor observing said was that that was impossible and had me try a different monitor that still had me reading about 400 after the time it took to change it out and me just standing there for 30-40 seconds.
My 437 isn't even the highest ever recorded, ruclips.net/video/AN-XxI6SgE8/видео.html
Besides, I'm just stating what the equipment said I was at, there could have always been faulty equipment or that it simply wasn't able to accurately record my heart rate.
Highest I've seen is 220. We used our nifty cardioversion paddles on him.
Woah that’s scary… I was about 27 when I had something bad happen and it raised my heart rate up to 202. I only know because I was wearing my galaxy active watch.
Back when I had SVT, the doctors said my heard beat ~230bpm at the highest. It's more of a flutter sensation than an actual beat... scary.
when i have my defib checked , they speed my heart up to test it , yeah , a bit of a flutter .
I was once very sick (strep throat that had been left untreated cuz heyyy no insurance) and when I was rushed to the ER my heart rate was 210 BPM even though I was lying down.
My max was 213 when I went elliptical training and drank no water.
Now that you mention heartbeat.. Do human and generally animals have average finite numbers of lifetime heartbeats before they die?
Lol! When you hit 218 during the steeplechase and start to black out
I have had 2 cardiac arrest at 34, so I now have a defibrillator. If my heartbeat goes at 220+ for 20 min, it goes off. Or if it ever reaches 250, that also triggers it.
Maybe that can give some sort of gauge
I'm starting to get why my doctors had concerns when I had a resting speed of 130...
Kinda nightmares are u having down there
lol yep resting should be about 60 lol .
195bpm hurts the chest after a few minutes for me. It hurt for a couple days actually lol.
I’m 16 and my heart rate just skyrocketed to 250, while I was running tracks for extra credit and talking with a friend who as well run tracks. After running tracks about possibly 10-20 minutes of sitting in class I was struggling to breathe and I asked the teacher to send me to the nurse office, got there told him I’m having hard time breathing and he checked me out. He got the thing that checks your heart rate and I was at 190’s sometimes reaching 205-209 for a few minutes. I’ve been in the nurse office over 15 minutes and still no sign of it slowing down. They checked my right side and 200-210. Then it went to 113-125 for a while, asked me if I wanna go home or stay in school for a while. My dumbass said I think I’ll be fine then out of nowhere 220 heart rate. Yup he surely called my granddad to come pick me up.
I’ve never been into tracks and don’t run often. Do have ADD but not hyperactive, don’t know if I have allergies but I don’t think that’s what the problem coming from. Right now I’m getting ready to see a doctor who can help me with this, know panicking is bad but hell.. I’m sure want to panic.
Idk what would happen if your heart rate gets high but reading some the other comments I could tell it doesn’t look good
My heart beats faster tho for Michael! 😂😂😂
Mines gone over 200 while having a panic attack
Cool heart animation
The Etruscan shrew has a very fast heart beating rate, up to 1511 beats/min. How does that work?
Ask a POTSIE this question. We are always topping our old highest scores 😂😂
(POTSIES are patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. It can be disabling and often causes us to pass out, and for our heartbeats to jump sometimes 20bpm, sometimes 150bpm higher in a matter of seconds just from moving.)
