Sorry to steal your title Frant.

The last week I am having heart issues.
Sometimes it starts to bounce like crazy.
A couple of days ago while sleeping, I woke up and it was pounding like mad.
Today I had an opportunity to measure the heart rate: 179
I bought an oximeter back in 2020, covid.

Let's have another beer...

179 at rest? Jesus. Go see a doctor right away instead of a beer, you twat. A tachycardia can be from many, many reasons, from malformed electric pulses to blockage to infection to inflammation to lung deficiencies. But let’s get dnukr instead. Laughing

A month and a half ago I had fever and heartrate of 130+ (my watch notifies me when it’s above 100 at rest), and turned out I had deep neck infection and was hospitalized for a week in the ENT unit. I should have dnurked cognac instead

Vigorous exercise is like 160, mine at rest is like 65, 179 I don't know what that is, definitely see a doctor.

When I was exercising on an exercise bike, I used to keep 170 and above. It can still go there if I run on an incline. There is a formula for “safe” heart rate: 220 - <age in years>.

But at rest, that’s crazy.

I've seen a doctor, he wasn't very interested after I told him "with my life style you don't get old".
After I told him I would like to see the Paris games, he prescribed some blood tests.
Great, more needles. Neutral

The heart rate is back to 100 from 120, in my case kinda normal.

Are you sure it wasn't a panic attack? I had one 25 years ago and it's not something you ever forget - came out of nowhere as I was nodding off to sleep - heart felt like it was going to pound out of my fucking chest it was beating so fast.

Got an ambulance ride to the hospital (the medics thought I was on drugs as I kept yelling at them that I was dying and to fucking do something). Short stay and a few EKG's later they determined nothing was wrong.

That was a fun experience to have at that age - felt like a fucking idiot. Hate hospitals to this day because of it. Laughing Crying or Very sad


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

I think the more frightening thing here is the "nothing wrong" bit. Of course something was wrong and i'd hate to just wait another similar attack

@Immunity The 1st experience was while I was asleep. Can't remember a bad dream.

I've had a similar experience in the past (2020) also after a SARS2 infection, might not be related.
I called the ambulance service twice back then. The second call the operator told me that false claims are punishable by law.

You should really see a cardiologist to run some tests, it won't be a waste of time and it's not invasive at all.
Do you smoke cigarettes too ?

170 bpm at rest is a false claim? Laughing Tough crowd

With my infection, once they saw 130 while I was sitting, they put me immediately to lie down and called an ambulance at the medical facility. Sounds stupid to me to take risks.

May be he was kinda UI. I remember 27 years ago after a spliff my heart rate was around 220 BPM. That's a nice way to get into real panic mode. It was the last time I have ever partaken of cannabis on purpose ( I ate spiced up cookies by accident many years after that ).
