Resting heart rate increasing
Hello Doctor,
I am 36 and having resting heart rate of 60-65 bpm till last week, but now i am getting resting heart rate as 80-85 bpm.
From last one week i have started running everyday about 16 min, 4 min each lap (starting with 5 kmph to 8 kmph till 16th minute). I have heard that if we start running everyday our heart rate goes down and down, but reverse is happening for me, so scaring. And also i am a light smoker, smokes 3-4 cigarettes/day
Please help doctor

Heart rate will go down after regular exercise n not so early.
So continue exercise.

No need of any investigations, and no need of any worry. You are undergoing just normal body response to excercise.
