Your heart has the ability to change heart rate at will during periods that require it to. For example, during physical exertion, your heart rate will increase to meet the blood-oxygen demand your body needs to keep going. When you sleep, your heart rate as well as metabolism slows as you do not require the same amount of energy as you do when you are awake. Defective hearts, however, have serious side effects. A heart that beats faster than is needed for an unnecessary amount of time can be damaged from the strain and have reduced performance. A heart rate that is lower than needed can dangerously lower your oxygen level used by your muscles, leaving you weak. In extreme cases, when your oxygen levels in your blood stream become too low, you can asphyxiate(suffocate) even if your breathing is normal
