my fellow has an abnormaly heart beat.  he has had a stress test today and they said they did not have to give him medication to make his heart beat fast.  his heart was at 150 beats per minute is that normal for at rest?He is considerabley overweight.
Hello dear, and thanks for posting your query here. A resting heart rate of 150/min is mostly not normal. It may be due to excessive deconditioning of the body as you said he is considerably overweight or may be having some tacky arrhythmia like atrial flutter. So I would advise you to see a cardiologist to get an ECG done to rule out tachyarrhythmias. And also if required get an Echo done to see the structure and the function of the heart. I hope this information would be of help to you. Thanks and all the best.
