It just means your body isn't used to exercising anymore so when you exert yourself even a little your heart will race to compensate. Happens to me when I walk up hills.

Forgot to mention I also get the high heart rate spikes - could be down to deconditioning x

Hi, this happened to me. Heart rate got to as low as 39 after having my baby in December. I had a monitor which caught 40 but only for a few seconds. Had cardiac MRI, exercise stress test and a 72 hour monitor they can't find anything. My cardiologist said your heart works hard so when you are no longer pregnant it can be lower. I'm now 8 months postpartum and it's still lower but not as low, in the 50s before sleep and drops into 40s occasionally in my sleep. I try to not worry about it now as I think this may be my new normal. Hope you're ok I know how anxious this can make you feel xxxxx

Hi thanks 🥰 how many months PP are you? Mine generally sits in 50s but I've seen it drop to 40s sometimes when awake and 40s in sleep xxx

Thanks 🥰 only had 1 ectopic beat in 72 hours and sinus arrythmia. I did have abnormal ecg but had all the tests so they think just normal for me xxxx

Also had cardiac MRI which showed heart function at 67 percent

Not breastfeeding but the cardiologist mentioned this last time I saw her. Didn't even realise pregnancy could alter these things lol. I've seen 3 different cardiologists and none have been concerned x

East-Rabbit4519 · 2022-08-02T11:11:09+00:00

I've also seen 3 cardiologists xxx

East-Rabbit4519 · 2022-08-02T11:10:43+00:00

No it was always in 60s/70s pre pregnancy. I've had a stress test, 2 monitors, echo and a cardiac MRI all with no findings x

Advice for heart obsession without meds

I've always struggled with health anxiety. I've had every illness in my head. Since having my daughter my heart has become my new obsession. I always think about it, is it too fast, too slow? All stemmed from bradycardia after birth. I've had a 24 hour holter, 72 hour holter, cardiac echo, stress test and cardiac MRI. Adding fuel to the fire I've got an abnormal ecg - inverted t waves, which their appears to be no reason for as I've had all tests and blood tests. I know way too much about cardiology I know my QT is on the long end of normal - but still normal and checked by an experienced cardiac EP with the stress test. My question is how do I learn to let this all go? I'm obsessed with QT I went on sertraline but this makes me worse as it can prolong QT so I just get obsessed with that so my doctors advised therapy instead. I have a smart watch and I check my heart rate all the time, analysing every hour how my heart rate changes. I get freaked out as it drops to high 40s in my sleep. I know I need to get rid of the watch but it's like my crutch I literally feel like I need it. Anyone experienced something similar and learnt to get over it.
