Heartrate and heat?
Posted , 3 users are following.
And I'm back! Today was hot here.. 86. We don't have air conditioning, so you can imagine how hot it was.. I was fine until I noticed my son was laying on me and my HR was pumping fast. Now my breathing is short and fast and Ive convinced myself that's a really bad sign. Why is my heartrate so high today? Ive been in front of a cold fan for two hours so I'm not hot. And Ive been keeping hydrated. I saw a doctor yesterday. Said my EKG didn't require immediate attention so they told me something else must be causing my chest pain, and told me it would be a 5 hour wait. She said I could just come back if the pain got worse because the doctor said it wasn't my heart.. Why is it so fast? Also while in the doctor, I saw my heartrate go from 74 to 86 then back down to 72 within 15 seconds. Is that normal? It was when I was telling her my symptoms. I'm terrified to sleep tonight. I don't think I'm anxious.. Just a long day and now I'm giving myself anxiety.

For instance, last time I was at the hospital I was explaining my symptoms to the doctor and my HR was 126! I'd been sat on the same bed for 2 hours, so I couldn't blame it on any sort of exercise or movement or anything. They took my BP which was relatively low, then moved me into another room and within that 5 minutes of moving from one room to another my BP had shot up to a crazy high level.
None of the nurses or doctors seemed worried though, they just put it down to anxiety and said they'd keep an eye on it throughout the night while waiting for my results.
