I take 75mg of nortriptyline each night for migraine. Recently I've noticed my heart rate is high. It's always tended top the high side and I used to have really quite low BP, although it normalised a bit after having children.
I've recently got a phone that has an SpO2 monitor function. My resting HR is around 120bpm and today while sat in a tutorial, relaxed, it was 131bpm.
Could this be why I'm always so exhausted (other than the 13.5hr shifts and 3 children plus governor duties!) and quite often feel non-specifically 'unwell'? I often feel slightly faint/dizzy and going up two flights of stairs leaves me quite out of breath. My BMI is 21 or thereabouts, so not overweight.
