I would have said that his pulse rate may be so because he is athletic. However as you say he is obese it’s unlikely. Best method to evaluate him is to get an ECG and review; young people may have a variable pulse due to sinus arrhythmia. In a rare case the clinician may decide and order 24 hours Holter ECG
Health Tips
First thing first count pulse reliably and check with a physician and order investigations as advised by him/her.
