Hello I'm 26 years old and I do have a bit of health anxiety. I have had a Fitbit for a few years and in 2020 it was showing my resting HR as 103...I was overweight and didn't exercise at all, had a very sedentary lifestyle.
Now it's 2021 I have started wearing my Fitbit again after losing some weight and going for some walks in the morning. It's showing my resting heart rate as 85.
I'm really concerned, during the day my HR is between 90-106. I am on beta blockers but still I'm terrified of doing intense exercise incase I die from sudden cardiac arrest. I did try some running at some point but my heart got up to 172 and I was too scared to carry on. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm also scared that doing regular exercise isnt going to reduce it.
Even when I'm sleeping my heart doesn't go below 79.
Anyone experienced this or got any help/advice?
Thanks in advanced
