good evening everyone, I found this for him while searching for answers to calm my fears about a new heart issue that seems to have developed in me.
I found a couple of good posts that I read, but they all seem to be just a little different than what I am dealing with. I was hoping maybe others could give me some insight into what they have experienced or what they might now. I would greatly appreciate any thoughts that you might have as in addition to anxiety problems, I have a severe phobia of doctors and have been just hoping this will all go back to normal soon.
I felt extremely bad when I woke up one morning last week and used a finger oxygen monitor for my mothers congestive heart failure her. I noticed that wall still laying in bed my heart rate was in the 90s and my oxygen kept dropping to the low 90s. I monitor it for a short time while staying in bed and then just left it on my finger as I started to get up. As soon as I set up the monitor started beeping an alarm because my oxygen went below 93 and my heart rate went to 130. I have continue to monitor my heart rate with an iwatch and bought a blood pressure wrist monitor and since that day and have found that my resting heart rate varies between the mid 70s to 100 with no connection that I can find with why sometimes it stays in the 90s and sometimes it will drop to the 70s. One thing that has remained consistent, is the fact that when I move even my arms around, it goes up. The first couple of days that I monitored the heart rate it would spike to 150 or 160 by simply standing up and walking around. It seems that the last couple of days the numbers have decreased slightly, but the spikes are still there whenever I stand up or move around. The first few days I monitor blood pressure, it did the same thing going between 120/80 and 130s/70s and then would spike and one time it even went as high as 176/118. I became very worried at that point and monitor the blood pressure more often and have found the last couple of days that it is remaining between 110/70's and 120s/ 80s. The highest spike I have gotten the last couple of days was 150/76. but other than the spikes, the resting blood pressure has remained almost perfect again.
I know that was a lot of detail and number, and I'm not looking for a diagnosis or cures but I was just trying to be thorough in example regarding what is going on and I didn't know a better way to do it then to add the numbers. I hope it did not seem like too much information but I am just hoping that somebody can provide insight or other thoughts. Thank you so much for any suggestions or ideas you might have.
