Tanning bed question?

I was talking to my girlfriend today, and this has happened before, but she told me that since she sleeps in the tanning bed she woke up today and before and her heart was beating really fast. She said it only happens in the tanning bed. Should she stop tanning or is this normal?

she shouldn't be in a tanning bed at all because it causes skin cancer faster

that is nottt normal- she should stop immedietly and probably talk to her doctor about that. for most people tanning is a relaxing calming time- it shouldnt make her heart beat even faster!
Reply:As your bodytemp rises, (as it does, when exposed to heat like in a tanning bed) your body trys to compensate and lower this temp. In order to do so, it increases the rate at which the heart beats to pump more blood to the capillaries (small blood vessles) Respiration also increases.


This is a normal response.


Sleeping in the booth, is NOT a good idea. As your body relaxes, it WILL be more prone to burns. Your reflexes are decreased also and the natural turning impulse, that occures when a body part gets hot, does not happen.





PLEASE, keep her from sleeping in it, have her go when alert.
