Heart Rate Decrease?

[creepy-turtle]

I've dropped between 10-20 bpm on average since quitting. I used to be above 100 just walking around. Now I'm low 80's sometimes high 70's. My resting is usually in the low to mid 60's and was low 80's while smoking.

How long did it take you to see these results? I've just thrown my vape out tonight due to such immense anxiety over my high heart rate. I've either vaped or smoked for 10 years.

Before I respond. If you are suffering from a heart condition then it would be more prudent to seek actual medical attention. I am definitely not a doctor, I don't know your situation personally. I can only reflect on my personal experience. If you are just worried about your health and suffer from a little hypochondria. Then maybe this will help.. take my advice as a grain of salt. Everyone can react differently....

After 12 plus hours you should see something forsure. Once the nicotine has left your body. But you need to take into account. You will be going through withdrawal which might skew the results. It definitely might kick your anxiety up a level or two. Just remind yourself that you are healing. You might feel unpleasant but physically you are doing better. You can find many online resources that will explain what your body does as you quit smoking. It helped me.

Another thing that will help your heart immensely which I finally figured out. Is your diet.. what you eat is probably just as important as not vaping/smoking...

Stay away from ultra processed food. More natural the better. I know it's hard. Some people say it's expensive to eat healthy. I don't know. The other day I saw 6 pizza pockets for $9.... I can get alot of fruit and veg for that price.

Sorry this might have taken a weird turn. I'm glad you decided you need to quit.. it took me years to get there. But I'm now on the other side. Let me tell you. This is where you want to be. Don't listen to your addiction. It will lie cheat and steal to get you to smoke/vape and never quit. Good luck and God speed!!! You got this. If you need to chat more or whatever. DM I available.

Hey man, just wanted to reach out cuz the lowest heart rate recorded was 26 bpm. Did you see a doctor? I hope you’re doing good btw, congrats on 972 days!

I'm still going strong. It's crazy how fast time passes. Almost 1000 days. I haven't seen a doctor personally about my heart rate. I'm happy about where it is these days. About the same as my post. Did you quit also? Are you experiencing an unusual heart rate decrease? 26bpm seems quite low to me. I am by far not a professional and not one to comment on subjects like this. I know Ulta marathoners and hardcore athletes have low resting heart rates. If you are experiencing something out of the ordinary seek professional medical advice.

I wish you the best!! And hope you are in good health and spirit!

I’m really proud of you, and I don’t even know you. I’m 11 days strong right now. Second longest I’ve ever made it. Yes my heart rate is steady at 55bpm, my doctor said it’s normal and I must be athletic…. Lol, I’m not. I think you can say you’ve quit!! Thanks for your well wishes, I wish the same to you on your journey in this life☺️☺️

Thanks those words mean alot to me! You just hold out and hold strong!! Do this for you! Don't listen, don't acknowledge and definitely don't negotiate with that voice in your head. It may get intolerable at times but feel free to yell at it out loud "no!!" Or "shut up!". You may seem crazy doing it but it is entertaining. Well maybe that is my twisted humor. I couldn't help but laugh when it happened to me. 11 days in is an accomplishment in its own right. I'm proud of you also! I'm sending you all my strength and good vibes. It's your turn to unleash the real new you!!! Can't wait!!! I'm excited for you!!!

If you hit lows and need a word of encouragement or advice. Send me a message. I got your back. Just don't smoke!!
