Should I Be Concerned About My Son's Pulse Rate Being 132?
My son will be 15 in February 2014. He's not feeling well and I checked his heart rate it's beating at 132 bpm, should we be concerned. He says he feels allergy symptoms and took a Zrytec D about an hour ago. He eyes look red and I know he's played video games late last night and slept in his contacts at a friends house. I'm concerned about letting him go to bed with his heart rate up that high.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, your son is taking Zyrtec for allergy, and might be having allergy.
The reasons for tachycardia may be the anxiety, anemia,hypertension, or some other heart problem.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms albendazole, ranitidine, protein supplements.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
