Please just tell me I'm being paranoid...
I've felt unwell the last few days (had a bad cold) and my heart kinda felt like it's been pounding. I guess my body was just working harder to fight the infection or whatever, but when I synced my Fitbit it's telling me at random moments in the day my heart rate is spiking going as high as 182bpm! This seems awfully high considering my resting heart rate is normally no higher than 66bpm.
It seems to have these random spikes to this level once a day lately. When I look back on the history though it seems to happen fairly often (even when I'm not unwell).
I feel ok in myself but I'm now freaking out that I might have some sort of underlying condition that's causing my heart rate to go into it's peak zone at times I'm not really doing anything or putting in much effort.
The episodes on Fitbit seem to last a few minutes then my heart rate is dropping straight back down to what it should be. I wanna tell myself it's faulty but what if it's not :( I don't know what to believe!
