Hi. My heart rate has been incredibly fast the past few weeks, even standing up is making it beat more but I don't know if it's because I'm more aware of it for some reason. I went for a good walk earlier and it wasn't going fast so it sort of comes and goes. I'm also more aware of my breathing and sometimes feel like I'm not going to get a good breath. Does anyone else get a fast beating heart after doing something simple like standing up?! ARGH!
Anyway, I'm staying at my dads and he has a BP monitor in the house so I thought I'd take my blood pressure. Mistake. My heart was racing for the first reading, and the machine said "error"! I took a few deep breaths and my heart slowed down, took the pressure and it said "121/ 82" I think, which is good. Then I took it again tonight, and it was so low, I can't remember exactly but my pulse was 115. What does this all mean?! Is it anxiety or something more sinister? God I HATE THIS. If I'm not worrying about one thing, I'll worry about something else.
