Default Elevated Heart Rate Hours After Walking?

Hi Everyone. Thanks again for the valuable information that everyone provides. A concussion is definitely one of, if not the toughest thing I have had to endure in my life and this forum at least provides me with a little relief.

I am two months into my recovery after getting hit by an errant tee shot on the golf course. Doctor diagnosed me with PCS because of lingering issues with nausea, headaches, fatigue, etc.

I am curious if anyone else has had this happen to them? I have begun taking small walks and am up to 1/2 hour of walking. I noticed on the evenings I walked I was not able to sleep well, if at all.

I took an afternoon walk yesterday and wore my heart rate monitor, max heart rate was 106. I noticed that my heart rate remained elevated in the 80's for four hours after the walk (I was even resting). I know this is still in the normal 60-100bpm range but this is not normal for me.

My normal resting heart rate, even post accident, is in the low 60's.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is a visit to the cardiologist in order?

Thanks so much and I hope everyone finds peace and health.
