im 18 years old and in good health. Since
yesterday ive been having really strange
symptoms with my pulse. Basically when I
adminster the test myself I get normal
readings in between 60-100. However when
I used my grandfather's blood pressure
monitoring machine I get weird resultrs.
First of all I want to admit that I am a
hypochondriac and I worry really easily
about my health and since yesterday ive
been obsessed with my heart. On his
machine I get readings above 100...105,103
and around that. However its
inconsistent. Ill check once and itll say
120. Ill check 2 minutes later it'll be
in the 90s. Check again it'll be in the
80s. Then itll go back over a 100 again.
Im a bit freaked out over this. I dont
have anyother symptoms...My blood pressure
is normal...And I can move\run around
fine...Could it be that my anxiety leads
to a rapid heart rate?
Any comments would be greatly
appreciated..
Thank you

Do not worry my friend there are many
websites to explain this. I use to be
just like you and this isnt ment to sound
offensive in anyway but I use to worry
that I was going to die and stuff. Well I
looked up a lot of websites about my
health so I have a pretty good look at
these things. Anxiety does make your
heart rate increased also if you have been
drinking things with caffen in it that
will inrease the heart rate. I think you
have nothing life threatning to worry
about. The main thing people think about
with their heart is that they are going to
have a heart attack and die. Well you are
still young and you said your health and
blood preassure is good. If you notice
chest pain or pain in your shoulder blades
or your neck then you should ask a doctore
about heart disease totally doubt you have
anything wrong with you tho. Also
machines can greatly vary in results
remember that. Get an offical reading if
you are really worried. If you seem to
worry and panic a lot ask your doctore
about zoloft it will calm you down
