This is something that has scared me for the last 6 weeks, I dont know if its gone on longer but I've noticed it and monitored it since then. Anytime I get my heart rate up over 100 or do something physical it feels like it takes a very long time for my heart rate to come down and stay down to my normal resting levels. My normal resting level is between 65 and 72 bpm.
For example, I mowed the lawn last week. I put the mower up, came in and my pulse was 115, I kinda freaked out at that, because it had been 2-3 minutes before I checked it. Over the next hour it hardly came under 100, for the next 2-3 hours it stayed in the 80s and 90s, and it wouldnt come down into the 70s, and it feels like the slightest trigger would make it jump 8-10 beats.
Today I was doing a sim race, online..wheel, pedals, you drive. It can be adrenaline producing, but we had a 40 minute race with no breaks, I've had acid reflux or something the last two days and I can really feel my heart beating. I got done, sat calmly for 3-4 minutes, could still feel my heart pounding, I checked my pulse and it was 106, which is very high for me. I got up, because I figured the acid reflux is making it beat harder, I sat down calmly on my bed, and it just wouldnt come down. The lowest I could get it to was 84, the slightest trigger or breathing differently or moving or talking could shoot it into the high 90s. When im calm and its at its resting rate it does that.
I read your heart rate should come down 12 BPM per minute after an activity or there could be an issue, does that include all the way to 65-72 or is it normal for it to stay 10-15 bpm higher than usual? Also could acid reflux be contributing to it being like this and increasing my heart rate.
Its really bothering my anxiety.
