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. |

Thanks for your post medic. I will check each point you mentioned.
My pulse rate was absolutely crazy today. I was at home all day Sometimes down at 60 while sitting, sometimes reaching 140 or more while standing and slow walking. Now I have constant 95 while resting in bed. Really strange. No chance to bring it down. I reduced amitryptiline to 10 mg. I doubt it comes from that. |
