My resting heart rate is around 110. It's always high. I know your body can't go long like this and it's been about that high for 3 years. My bp is all over the place too. Last time at the doctors office it was like... 80/50 or so and my heart rate was 140. My blood pressure will get high too like 260/180. I've seen my heart rate at about 60 maybe twice EVER. is this pots??

I don't know if you've been bed ridden a while or not. But that high of a HR would be normal if that's the case. Only exercise could fix that. also that along with being sick 110 isn't terrible.

As for the blood pressure, I don't know if it can actually get that high, it would be an extreme emergency if it did. Maybe your machine wasnt giving an accurate reading.

I generally consider myself to be athletic, but when my lyme/bart symptoms started to show up, high resting heart rate (approx. 100) and palpitations (well, along with raging that came out of nowhere) were the first symptoms to show up.

Before that my resting was 50. My endo rxed beta blockers, but I never used them. My heart rate has now declined back to about 60 and palps are a thing of the past.

my resting HR before Lyme was 42, a month later it was 70~80 and it would change by like 20bpm depending on the day. There was a while I didn't have a resting HR because it was so inconsistent. Now its 48 and consistent.

I get high heart rate. Recently I've been taking turmeric in water. Like a half tsp and mix up in a half cup and drink it. It's really great for heart inflammation. I've experience a much calmer heart rate and not so much pounding discomfort.

Although there are some problems if you take any meds that thin the blood or if you have blood sugar issues.

I would tell anyone with a 110 resting heart rate that they needed to see their physician very soon.

Good point, georgia Hunter. I guess I was assuming you've had your heart checked out by a doctor already and it's just sinus tachycardia. I'd you haven't got an ekg or holter and your concerned definitely go get one.

I did a Holter monitor and a tilt table test. The monitor revealed pvc pac and sinus tachycardia. The tilt table revealed I was losing my p waves.

It's very possible my BP thing got a weird reading when it was in the 200s. the Holter monitor showed my heart rate going above 150 multiple times throughout the day. The offered me propranolol but it didn't work out because my BP was also dropping. The lowest they saw it was 70/60.

I frequently see it at 170/140. I don't usually feel very different when it's high or low. Maybe I'm just used of feeling like crap all the time.

I feel like I'm getting adrenaline rushes a lot and my heart rate will be in the 130s. So I blame it on that. Since taking Hawthorne I don't notice as many skipped beats but it still fluctuates like crazy.

I had a surgery to repair my uterus about 2 years ago and woke up with these heart issues. I never had them before that surgery. I wasn't diagnosed with Lyme at the time.. The surgeon said he had never seen adhesions like mine. I know Lyme likes scar tissue so I blame the bacteria for those issues too.

Besides Hawthorne does anyone have any ideas of what I could do? I think a lot of my anxiety comes from my heart beating too fast all the time. I could be wrong. But I'm starting to become more aware of how huge of an issue anxiety is for me physically... I've been living like this for so long I don't even realize until I don't have anxiety how weird I am. It's controlling my life and just making me a really weird person. I'm humiliated....

I was in the same boat anxiety wise, mainly about my heart, it had been steady and slow prior and all of the sudden it was all over the place and skipping all the time.

As soon as I realized what anxiety was doing to my life I said screw it, I just stopped caring (earsier said than done), slowly started exercising again. Once you realize how much of a role anxiety plays, only then can you beat it.

Looking back I can't believe I lived a whole 2 months like that, it's what really let Lyme take over, and I never would be where I am now if I still had the anxiety. I can't imagine people who anxiety there whole life. I never would have been able to sympathies with them.

My resting HR is low now, it's crazy what a difference no anxiety makes on your health. It would be hard to beat any illness with as bad if anxiety as I had. It took time but I'm on my longest streak without a panic attack or general anxiety. It's really made a difference.

I would want to see someone who knew about the biopterin pathway. Yours may not be functioning correctly and affecting your heart and thus the anxiety.
