As some of you may know Ive been worrying about my hear rate, I woke up this morning and checked it, it was 95.. and its stayed 95 ever since I woke up
its really causing me to panic and i can feel a big panic attack coming on soon and I don't know what to do.

It is fine, nothing to worry about. The more you panic about it the higher it will go but it won't harm you :)

I am trying to remain as calm as possible, when i feel i am relaxed and calm after 10mins of watching something to get my mind of it, i will check my hr and its still in the 90s!

Don't worry it is fine to be in the 90's :)

The normal resting heart rate for adults is between 60 and 100 heartbeats a minute.

I know but my normal resting heart rate is in the 50 and 60s its been elevated for the last week or so :( so i thought if i did my HR as soon as i wake up itll give me an idea of what it is when im asleep, and it seems like it doesnt go down

Please tell yourself 90 is fine. Normal. Okay. Good. It will be either your sensation that its going faster that's panicking you or you focussing on it. It will pass. Get up move about, do something to take your mind off it.

No doctor, consultant will be worried by a heart rate at 90. Nor should you. It's hard I know. But tell yourself that.

Trueman is right...it is normal and you are obviously getting anxious about it which is stopping it from going down. You were probably subconsciously worrying about it when you woke up and that is why you checked it.

Anxiety WILL increase your heart rate. That is a prove fact. Unless your heart is missing beats, is over 220 for days, or all up stops, doctors will not be concerned at all. The more you think about it, the longer it will stay elevated. I know this as I fully do the same thing.
