[RC] OT? Human heart rate question - Amber Roberts
Do any of you check your own heart rate (human not
horse) while riding? If so, how high does your heart rate go while
riding at the walk? I have lost half my lung function due to a pesticide
poisoning and I have Tachycardia which makes my heart beat anywhere
from 135 to 150 beats per minute while riding. I'm wondering if
anyone else has this problem and, if so, how does it affect your riding?
How long can you ride each time? Do you have any method for controlling
this high heart rate? My doctor said I should consider this my aerobic
workout and only ride for 20-30 minutes. I told him it wasn't worth
my tacking up for such a short time. I can no longer do Endurance or
Competitive Trail because of this high heart rate. I'd appreciate hearing
from anyone with this same problem.
