Hello,
I already did an ekg. It was a bit arythmic but the rest was ok. I notice that my heart rate even goes up to 130 or more when I have little stress. No physical activity. Im a bit worried that it could affect the recovery. |

I had a resting heart rate of 105-120+ along with high blood pressure that started after the concussion. I had my first panic attack after lying in bed trying to go to sleep but hearing the pounding of my racing heart in my ears. My dr put me on a beta blocker and had me monitor my bp and hr daily for a while, ekg was normal. It was always worse when I was tired or stressed. It has gradually gotten better and now 3 yrs after my concussion I am back to 78-85 for resting hr, my bp has improved some and I am on a lower dose of medication but I am not off it completely.

Is it just your resting heart rate that is high? Have you checked for other positions? (Like sitting, standing?) You may want to go to a cardiologist if this is a constant issue, or at least bring it up with your GP.

My pulse is generally a lot higher than it should be.
When I wake up after a good night it is around 60. It goes up to 95 when I have a stressless day inside the house. While sitting it remains around 95. Light Excercise will bring it up to 120 or more. When I am outside the house it stays at 120 and more even when sitting. I have no chance to bring it down than. So stress has to play an important role. I will try the beta blocker as long as I take amitryptiline. |

Could a persistent pulse rate of 95/120 have a negative effect on the healing? What does the research say?

I doubt that pulse rate effect healing. I have never read anything that suggests a problem.
What do you use to check your pulse ? Does it check your blood pressure, too? |

My bp measuring device also shows the pulse rate. It is just like you exercise the whole day when the rate stays that high. I dont think that this can be good.
Today I even had 130-150 for a short time, only because of light activities at home. |

And I also noticed that a bad sleep and too much cognitive activities(thinking is enough) are a trigger.

Speaking from a medical background, your resting heart rate (based on so many things) should be under 100. I don't get too nervous as a health care worker unless resting its over 120. But, I think that people who have increased stress and anxiety have higher heart rates. EKG showing Tachycardia doesn't show anything really. Have a stress test? That may help show some stuff. I have had one. It's not bad.
Reasons other than stress your heart rate could be elevated while resting: PSVT(Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia) Fancy big word that says your top chambers of your heart beat way faster and do not effectively pump any blood. Infection. You may have a small infection that you don't notice. Check your temp, monitor yourself for that. Headaches. They can raise your pulse Caffeine. Definitely can raise your pulse Dehydration. Try drinking some gatorade/powerade to get your fluids up. Drink lots of water also. Blood sugar issues. Check your sugar if you have a glucometer at home. If not, just watch what you eat. Notice any changes. Let me know how you are. Take care. |
