Hi there,
I've been having an interesting issue lately that's a little bit beyond my control at this point.
I will preface this by saying that my posture is beyond terrible, and I'm, at this point, finding it hard to stand without becoming terribly dizzy and gain significant tension with my back.
I started to become obsessed with my heart rate some time around last week when I was in the car and my heartrate was around 95. The reason I felt it was because I felt tense and unwell.
Since that point, I've been checking my heart rate in excess of 100 times a day. Along with occasional bouts of PVCs, general tension, aches and pains, and a lot of sudden speeding up during the night, I've found that my spinal position was affected.
When I'd got out of the car to go to the bathroom after a severe panic attack, my heart rate toppled straight to 75, then back in the car, 100.
In my chair, when I sit upright, my heart rate, again, is around 95 and stays there. However, when this high rate scares me a little too much, I tend to slouch, and immediately the heart rate drops to 70-75 after a little bit of time to slow down.
During the fast heart rates, it always feels as though I have tension in my back, chest and the likes.
I also noticed that when cycling, my heart rate peaks around 180 when I'm doing light cycling. However during jogging, my heart rate peaks around 150 when I'm going a little bit harder.
This postural effect is quite odd, and it's causing me to actively slouch in my chair to avoid the fast heart rate.
Any suggestions here?
