i thought you were ment to wean off blockers? i was only on 30mg proprnaolol, i went on this because my hr was sitting in the 90's too but only cos i was checking constantly! ne way i stayed on propranlol for only5 months but i exercised caught up on sleep and beat my anxiety which ment NO checking, after i had done all this thats when i weaned of my blocker, and my heart rate is lower now ive only checked it once. Im sure rlr will give you some great advice, cary on with your exercise tho

I can tell you one thing. My resting heart rate is normal or a bit higher than normal when I had my stress test. Though it is weaker and slower lately but it is not our concern now. So that day as soon as I "started" walking on the treadmill, it jumped to over 100, then in one minute it was 120, and it kept going up to 180 in about 10 minutes. I could not complete the test but the reason was not my heart, but my legs. They were fatigued so I could not keep up with running.

What I mean is my heartrate can jump very easily and it does everytime I walk a bit fast, but I haven't noticed any problems with that. I believe that the body can cope with it.

by the way you keep saying you don't have anxiety, and you don't feel anxious, but this is also a sign of anxiety otherwise you wouldn't pay this much attention to them

With regard to the "article" referencing resting heart rate and mortality, it was mentioned quite plainly that the research study was based upon persons with heart disease and under treatment. What part of that did you overlook? Additionally, Wikipedia is not a professional medical source whatsover but rather an open contribution encyclopedic program.

I am also constrained to point out something in your post that you should take careful note of, since it produces a rather glaring confound in your vigilent preferences where your heart rate is concerned. As you've explained, it is your decision to electively stop taking the beta blockers because you were struggling to get your heart rate above 130, while alternatively worrying about a resting heart rate in the 80s or 90s, and furthermore now find it too easy to produce heart rates in the 140-150 range in the absence of the medication, citing it to be too much too quickly in your opinion.

I'm not certain if you have paused in reflection concerning this entire matter, but you need to firmly understand that you have somehow chosen to make determinations about precisely how and to what levels your heart should be performing and have become apprehensive because it won't simply obey your expectations.

Anxiety at the levels you are experiencing exceed well be the sensations of situational apprehension, but rather produce physical manifestations. Your claim that it cannot possibly be anxiety is entirely groundless. Your postings alone clearly document anxiety regarding your circumstances. Your problem is that you fail to recognize the power of irrational fear and how it can produce unswerving adherence to beliefs that are based entirely upon subjective conclusions.

If your frustration and anger is growing, then I'd suggest that you pause to consider whether you may be the one that is wrong here. I don't necessarily need to point this out, but you are not a physician and have not been formally educated or trained to evaluate or diagnose human illness, disorders or diseases. You have somehow elected to believe in what you suspect to be a problem despite any evidence and professional opinion to the contrary. This represents a major problem and one that you need to admit if you're going to move beyond your present situation.

And I would gladly address the question you've posed wherein you have yet to obtain an answer, if you'd provide me with a location where I can post it because it would require about 30 pages. This again, is a factor that you fail to take into account and the very question that you pose is glaring evidence that you are over-simplifying an extremely complex science. The same fact holds true where your concerns about your own heart exist. You expect certain factors related to your heart to exist based upon your own perspectives and that anything outside of your expectations has been deemed pathological.

There's nothing wrong with your heart. Gathering information on the internet and electing to incorporate it in the absence of the requisite background can produce some rather striking results, the majority of which you are demonstrating. It also does not somehow confer the ability to properly or accurately detect the presence of some type of pathology of all things. In other words, you are attempting to do something which is impossible in the absence of the requisite education, training and experience.

You can continue your pursuits to whatever extent you can withstand, but I'm going to have to be very plain and firm with you here in stating that you do not know what you are talking about and are making gross errors because you are not formally educated or trained to either detect features which constitute pathology, nor accurately evaluate them.

Now I'm sorry if you're unable to see the reality here, but it's time for a young fellow like you to get to the business of living and stop worrying about things you have no ability to properly define. If you like medical science to such an extent, then my suggestion is to set your sites on gaining entry into medical school where you can receive the necessary formal training to participate in whatever manner you choose. You seem like a very bright young man, but you must somehow come to both understand and admit that what you are suffering from here is not heart problems of any nature whatsovever, but rather lack of insight where the matter is concerned.

Medically, your heart is fine and you need to reconsider the validity of your own claims where that is concerned.

Best regards and Good Health
