Heart rate app?

An irregular pulse is one where the rhythm is not even.

It is normal for your pulse rate to change from minute to minute.

You seem to need help with health anxiety.

This is mine, I wear a fitness band as a watch. The total dip is where I took it off because it was wet from my shower. The spike at 10 was when I took my ADHD medication, which does affect heart rate. All normal and not a concern.

Def talk to your doctor if concerned about any side effects of your medication. They should be able to reassure you or investigate as needed.

As others have said HR has spikes of highs throughout the day depending on activities, stress, rushing around, drinking strong coffees, that kind of thing.

Your HR is fine. I have Afib so believe me - that is arrythmia, diagnosed via many hospital tests, not a phone app!

Even though I have this and have a HR monitor on the smart watch, I rarely check it. I know myself if things are going fast, (180-220 at rest is not unusual for me), and if it lasts then I'll check and keep an eye on it and watch for other symptoms. Otherwise I just get on with it.

Similarly here's mine, I'm not about to drop dead either.

I have SVT and Long QT so my heart often spikes at rest (see image) and you learn to just get on with it.

A heart rate of 114 is childsplay really, it's a very normal heart rate especially if not resting!

The normal heart rate for an adult AT REST - ie lying down for ten mins is anywhere from 60 - 100.

There really isn't a condition called, "irregular heart rate" there are conditions that cause it to be irregular, but again that is at rest.

Just take your pulse.

No it's an app where you put your fingers over your flash. It's very unreliable!

Maybe see your GP for your anxiety. Your pulse is completely normal. Pulse rate alone doesn't tell you anything unless it's massively high at rest or very low.
This is my pulse today. I'm not about to drop dead and is a perfectly normal variation.
Please get help because the only thing that's not normal here is obsessing over your pulse.

Phone camera apps are VERY unreliable as heart rate monitors. The slightest movement of your finger will throw it off. Even more likely if you have dark skin.

Buy a proper pulse oximeter on Amazon and use that. Don't rush to the doctor based on a phone app.

I just see a finger on the camera to read it, surely then that means you just get an unreliable small piece of time reading it unless your finger is on it all the while.

If I sit down then get up my heart rate varies a lot, its normal

I used to use the same app and found it quite inaccurate when compared to taking my pulse normally. It would record random spikes which was caused by any movement.

I know it soothes you when you’re anxious but I think this time it’s actually made you feel worse. Anxiety can make your heart race, especially at night time when you’re trying to calm down to sleep, you can really feel like your heart is pounding in your chest .

If you have any worried about your heart rate then I’d maybe contact your gp to talk it through. They can either discuss your anxiety and maybe refer your for a 24 heart trace if they feel it’s needed.

How is your phone measuring your heart rate, do you mean you have an Apple Watch or similar which you can look at results on your phone.

And in the app you've put 'normal' and not 'resting' I had this app as above for shits and gigs to compare it to the real thing so I know it doesn't do it itself.

114 for being up and about and not resting is honestly fine.

Your phone can't measure your heart rate without some means of measuring it.

No.

I have 2 life threatening heart conditions. If your heart is slow or quick it doesn't mean it's irregular.

Also these apps are wildly off. I have something called an ILR which is an implant in my heart which runs all the time like an ECG so I get accurate readings. I downloaded this very app to compare and it was so out of sync.

Also if you're panicking it'll raise your heart rate. 114 isn't very fast at all if you're panicking.

Delete the app. It's not helping.

If your an anxious person I would not use the app it could be that that is sending your pulse up! You know your pulse goes up when you move right? Or when you have had a meal or hot drink. Do yourself a favour and leave it alone.

For heaven's sake, unless you have a medical condition which predisposes you to a cardiac event, this is ridiculous. Monitoring your vital signs is a guarenteed way to send them squiffy
More to the point, if a cardiac event is a potential side-effect of wegovy, and you are 'terrified' this may happen, stop taking the drug, it isn't life-saving

No.

If you are that concerned, a proper BP monitor will give you an accurate pulse reading.

You can give 111 a call if worried and they might talk you through taking your pulse over the phone?

And Wegovy doesn’t cause any heart side effects / arrhythmias

If you have a tendency towards anxiety it’s more likely to be that than anything more concerning.
