Yikes!! Higher than my normal exercise HR/PVCs while swimming...

Yesterday I noticed my execise pulse while swimmimg laps was 20 to 25 BPM above my normal pulse with swimming. Also felt PVCs every 7the beat.Just wondering if I should let Cardiologist know about this?

hi I have experienced this in the past I found with me it's all or one of 3 things.

1. overtraining
2. low magnesium levels.
3.dehydrated.

if things are normally ok and this is a new experience it's worth ruling out the above.

the dehydration is the worst for me remember it's not about just drinking fluid you need to be hydrated at a cellular level.
electrolyte balance is crucial.

just a thought

good luck

Thank you for the advise! Could be due to being a little dehydrated.

I would run it by your Cardio. He might give you an EKG and/or 24hr halter monitor (kind of hard to use though when you are swimming!) to see if they are benign PVC's or something more concerning.

Good idea! Thank you for sharing!..I hiked an hour today and no problems with tachycardia.
