How can the drs leave me like this :'(

[Moxxi]

This is my resting heart rate according to my Fitbit and if you see the graph is practically above 100 all day. The lowest it got to was 89 in my sleep. Anyone got any advice because the drs say I'm ok but I'm clearly not. I have had a scan of my heart and a 24 HR ECG which just showed sinus tachycardia. I've been this way for 8 years is it going to kill me?

How can this be ok? I am taking beta blockers too since Jan this year but I'm not sure they're working.

I appreciate you all so much. Thank you so much ❤️ I will try with all I have to get better and keep exercising. Xx

Hopefully this link works, it's called the 4-7-8 technique. Might be worth a try!

Living like what, though? Do you feel ill? If not, and if you didn't have a Fitbit, you wouldn't have any clue what your heart rate was and wouldn't be concerned. Not everyone has a RHR of 60; there's a fair amount of natural variation. Obsessing over what you think the number 'should' be is likely doing you more harm than anything else.

Thank you very much @shreddednips

I'm by no means an expert, but a higher HR could be normal for you. Mine is about 50 which is "dangerously low" unless you're an alert athlete (of which I am very much not). It's just my normal.

If you are concerned go back to your gp and ask for more of an understanding.

If you have no symptoms I would not even look at the rates, why would you need to? If somethings wrong with you're heart, you'd notice.

Keep calm, drink water, keep up your exercise, you sound like you're doing fantastic x

Here are the 2 rowing machines. I use the Reebok one as the other one hurts my hands.

*elite, not alert

OP your anxiety is quite likely to be the cause of this and possibly why they won't treat it until your anxiety has been successfully treated. Put your hand on your chest, feel your heart and at the same time do something soothing. Get your partner to hug you and take a deep breath and you will feel your heart rate slow. This is how sensitive your body is to your emotional state. If you are suffering from constant anxiety and it sounds like you are, this may be why your resting heart rate is so high.

Thank you @nothingcanhurtmewithmyeyesshut do you believe my heart rate will ever change? I'm scared

My friend has this rowing machine she bought 2nd hand for about £200. I covet it. Any such machine might trash my shoulders so be stupid for me, not sure.

I'm a big believer in exercise for fending off bad MH, in case you couldn't tell.

Losing weight and exercising will help. she says with a mouthful of ice cream Sounds counterproductive but if you do exercise that raises your heart rate and makes it work a bit harder, your heart will do what any other muscle does and get fitter. At which point your resting heart rate will drop.

I also think you need to tackle the anxiety as a priority as chronic stress puts your whole body under strain, not just your heart. The human body is not designed to run at high alert for this long.

Have you tried some counselling or CBT? I didn't find CBT that useful but I know others who swear by it. I found counselling helpful, just to have someone to talk to who doesn't get frustrated with me and now it's like a trained response, just the sight of his face chills me out.

Bless you, I'm waiting for CBT, I'm 26 si hopefully have time to change things. As you're probably aware it's so scary :( xx
