It's perfectly normal and natural for your heart rate, blood pressure and respiration to vary throughout the day. It's also perfectly normal that the more you're focusing on it, the higher they'll all be.

You're doing fine! Deep breaths,....

My husband gets this and sometimes it can last over an hour. Doctor said his heart is normal to just cut out the caffeine.

How are you feeling now? Is your HR better?

I hope that you can spend some time on practicing some relaxation exercises tonight to decompress.:)

Hazel,

Hey there girlfriend, relax - all of the stress you were feeling should be decreasing now that your lunch date is over.

My heart-rate on Sunday was high for me - 120 BPM. In my mind,  I ran through a list of all the reasons that would cause my HR to be elevated and the only one that truly fit was anxiety.  I made myself get into reading the posts here in the forum and 2 hours later it was down to 75 BPM.

That old trick anxiety has a way of driving our "anxiety bus" and the more we worry the higher our numbers go.

Do whatever it takes to stay in the moment my friend.

I like that saying about how you play your cards.

Sometimes, and maybe it depends on who says it and *how* they say it, but when I hear: "It's not fair, but you have to play the hand you're dealt." ...well, it can sound trite and condescending.

How things are worded, (and who they come from) can make all the difference! :)
