Why does your heart rate increase when you drink (cold) water?

I just finished a 30 minute cardio workout at home. I had my heart rate monitor on and was watching as my heart rate went down. I noticed that every time I drank (from a straw) my cold glass of water that the number went up on my monitor. Is this due to drinking the cold water? I once heard that cold water is not good for you but... water is water as long as you drink it.

Thanks for any info?

cold fluids cause a reflexive action to lower heart rate. Cold air will do this as well, it is a survival reaction similar to the reaction one gets when hypothermia sets in.

Like the old saying goes, they aint dead til they are warm and dead.

Actually sometimes Supraventricular tachycardia has been stopped with ice water...or exposure to cold outside air.

hi there... so you just finished working out your core temperature is really high hence the sweat to cool you down... when you drink cold water your core temp goes down dramatically this is really not good, the temperature needs to go down slowly thats why you have a cool down after every strenuous work out so that your heart can compensate the flow of blood... when something cold disrupts this cool down making the temp. lower your heart beats faster to make sure your organs gets their adequate supply of oxygenated blood....

Normally if you get colder your heart rate will slow down, under cooled people have a heart rate of 30 per minute or so, and if you are really cold the heart stops.

So it could just be you reacting to a cold stimulus in your stomach, and not you as a whole cooling down faster.
