My heart rate 3 years ago at rest was 54. It was really decent. Very much so.
About a year and a half ago I started taking my pulse semi regularly, until one car ride where it was 95 resting. I was afraid, I had so many panic attacks. I couldn't breathe.
Now I check my heart rate between 400-500 times a day.
It only rests around 90 now, walking it's at 120, sitting it's often up to 130 if I'm afraid. I can't exercise. Exercise makes it go so fast I can't move.
I don't know what to do.
On one hand I want to stop feeling it because I worry it'll make it faster. I've had ECG and that says I'm fine. Blood tests say I'm fine. On the other hand, I often suffer crippling attacks of breathlessness, nausea and can barely stand, and I want to feel my heart rate, where it going fast, then as I sit down, it suddenly slows down very quickly, then rises back up to its' previous speed.
Even as I sit here, I feel terrible, ill, and anxious.
What can I do? I feel it because I'm afraid. But I'm afraid nevertheless.
