I know I do :wacko:
I also know that you should take your resting heart rate just after you wake up, before you start moving around.
Historically this has been about 58-65 for me first thing in the morning, but once I'm up it never settles back down to that level during the day.
Last week I was in A&E with a prolonged episode of tachycardia (120bpm for several hours). This has happened once before and in both cases I was under massive amounts of stress and had an infection. All tests came back fine.
Now though, I'm back to checking my pulse, a lot.
Because I'm a little 'wired' right now my daytime pulse ranges from 75-90, and although I know that's fine, especially as I'm so stressed out right now, I also can't help feeling it's not right. After the trip to A&E I am of course waking up during the night with the standard 120bpm episodes. I know how to handle those easily enough, but it also means that I wake up in the morning with my HR already at 75-80 which I'm also reading way too much into.
Curses to it all! :mad:
