I've been doing so well with my heartrate being slow - like 60-80 for months now.  now, i'm having issues with my son's dad, i'm having surgery  next week and worrying about money while i'm off and pmsing. 

well my hr the last few days has been in the upper 80s and lowers 90s.  I feel amped up. 

does PMS do this to anyone with stress?  I know it can but it hasn't happened in so long it makes my health anxiety kick in.  ughhhhhhh

I do know for a fact that during my "time of the month" - my hr is a lot lower than usual and so is my bp.

Anytime you have worry, coupled with paying attention to your heart rate, is the perfect recipe for an elevated heart rate. Just knowing your heart rate is higher will cause many to stress a little more and produce adrenaline a little more and make the heart rate even higher.....one of those vicious cycles for so many with anxiety.

 

All that I know to do is just to try to get your mind on something else other than your heart rate and that would help.

Yep, my HR and BP can go up/down with hormones...

...add that to the other things you've got going on, and it is no mystery!:;)

Try to find time to do your breathing and meditation/relaxation skills...they work!

You are in my thoughts and prayers friend...keep posting...we are here for you.

My heartrate always seems to be high...in the 90s, sometimes even 100. I think due to anxiety...I am seeing a new therapist and hope to get some coping skills :)
