Do doctors keep track of their patients' heart rates?

Asked by bobbinhood (5898points) May 5th, 2011

Since yesterday evening, my heart has been feeling very strange. After a couple hours, I thought to check my heart rate, and it was 107bpm. I decided to go to bed and hope I was feeling better this morning, but I still feel strange and my resting heart rate is hovering near 104bpm (lowest was 96 when I first woke up, and highest was 110). I have no idea what my heart rate normally is, and since they always check my pulse when I go to the doctor, I’m wondering if they keep a record of it.

Please do not tell me to go to the doctor. I’m already planning to call when the office opens. I just thought someone here would know if they will be able to tell me my normal heart rate.
