What Causes High Heart Rate While Exercising?
I have a healthy history and have exercised briskly for years. I am now a 63 year old male who seems to have type 2 diabetes symptoms and when I walk or exercise after meals experience a RACING heart beat, clearly exceeding 175 to 200 beats per minute. Should I be concerned?

Hi There
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that people with diabetes are at more risk to develop heart disease than a normal individual and heart rate of 175-200 is really high and is a point to be concerned and need further evaluation.
It's advisable for you to get an ECG, Echocardiography and a Treadmill test done and personally consult a cardiologist with reports for further management.
Hopefully this has answered your query.
Kind Regards
Dr Navneet Mahajan
