What Causes Unexplained Fast Heart Rates?
I am a very fit, very healthy female long distance runner... however, my last 4 runs, my Average Heart Rate has been through the roof sitting at 183 and my maximum was over 200.. results I would only expect to see when I am sprint training... Causing me to have to cut my runs way short only being able to sustain this heart rate for 8kms.. I have had my Thyroid removed 8 years ago and am now on Thyroxin, however, as per my last blood test my thyroid function is normal and I recently had complete blood checks done and everything was normal.. Any idea why my heart may be doing this ???

Hello,
If every test run was normal, then you should not worry about the fast heart rate. Because you are healthy too. Still, you should talk to your physician in person.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
