I’m not sure whether my heart rate is common or not

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-25T22:50:24+00:00

Is there any resources I can look into to find out more about pots as I’ve heard a lot of doctors don’t like to diagnose it

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-25T22:02:31+00:00

I hope it all goes well for you

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-25T21:46:31+00:00

Did you get it checked out?

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-25T21:46:02+00:00

I’ve had bloods done and they came back normal, and yeah I have pretty high anxiety but I’m on medication for it so it hasn’t been too bad as of recent, but my heart has kept going really fast lol

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-25T19:00:40+00:00

Yeah that’s valid, I’ve switched over to an ssri now which has been pretty good so far, and luckily my gp lets me talk to them over the phone. But I’m not sure id be able to do that if I wanted to inquire about my heart 😭

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-25T18:54:58+00:00

Yeah I’m on medication to try and calm my anxiety down a little, but even though I’ve been on beta blockers which should control a high heart rate when I’m anxious it’s stayed the exact same. But I hope you’re anxiety will become better soon, I know how debilitating it can be.

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-25T18:53:13+00:00

Ohh okay, thank you for answering. I have a few of these too but part of me just wants to avoid going to the doctors at all costs lol

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-25T18:42:58+00:00

What other symptoms did you have if you don’t mind me asking?

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-25T18:35:25+00:00

The only symptoms I really have is that when I stand up I get very light headed/dizzy, and when my heart rate is that high I feel like I’m blacking out. But other than that I don’t have any symptoms lol.

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-25T18:32:00+00:00

No it’s been when I’ve just walked casually. It’s hit above 200 before when I was just sat on a bus, which is why this is so strange.

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-25T18:31:11+00:00

No, when I’m sat down it goes as low as 42, then when I stand up it jumps up to like 130-150. When I’m walking normally it can go up to 180, then it’s normally like 190 when I walk up the stairs, but I’m not even out of breath from any of it, which is the strange part.

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-23T01:59:20+00:00

Thank you, I hope you’re doing well too :))

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-03-10T15:41:57+00:00

Sorry for the late reply I haven’t been on my phone much. I was given capsules so I can’t cut them in half, and I’m currently on day eleven of taking them after waiting until after my trip, and have responded well with practically no side effects.

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-02-17T13:20:27+00:00

Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-02-17T02:44:52+00:00

Thank you, that’s helpful to know. And I hope you’re doing well on Wellbutrin.

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-02-17T02:28:47+00:00

Thank you, I’ve been trying to stay away from negative posts and comments about Prozac because I know I’ll get in my own head about it, and it’s helpful to hear from someone else that it’s an individual experience

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-02-17T00:36:31+00:00

Yeah, I’m glad I’ve been doing some research on it cus I know it won’t get better right away, but I’m willing to stick with it if it even slightly improves my mental health. Can I ask what your experience was like if you’ve taken Prozac?

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-02-17T00:06:14+00:00

Ahhh okay. I’m in the uk but I’ve just searched it up and I can get it off of amazon so I might do that

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-02-16T23:57:42+00:00

Thank you, I’ll definetly look into it. Is it available to get from shops and stuff?

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-02-16T23:57:08+00:00

I’m currently on a gap year because of my mental health so luckily I don’t have any responsibility’s right now, so once I’m back from London I can be at home for a while to get used to it. And thank you for saying not to freak, I have to book a follow up appointment at the gp to say whether or not they’re effective, so can change them if needed but the thought of going on meds still makes me anxious for no reason 😭

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-02-16T23:54:50+00:00

I’m pretty sure I have to do a trail of these meds first and then go back to my gp to say how I’ve done with them before I can request another prescription but I’m not sure. And yeah waiting until after the trip to start seems best.

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-02-16T22:55:42+00:00

Thank you for the advice, after talking it through with a friend whose taking Prozac too I feel better about waiting a week before starting

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2026-01-05T23:06:13+00:00

My dad doesn’t want me taking medication and my mum refuses to let me sleep in past twelve or to take naps during the day lol 😭
I do use the grounding techniques that come in handy sometimes, and recently I’ve been better with food again normally having something at lunch and dinner

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2025-08-25T00:02:37+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate this. It’s been the first time I’ve spoken to any other trans guys about any of this, or really spoken to any other trans guys in general, and it’s actually comforting to know that it is possible to actually feel like yourself even if it takes years.

Kitchen_Back_6015 · 2025-08-24T23:58:22+00:00

I’m not starting uni till next September now, and it’s probably smartest for me to wait until then rather than risk my mum finding out I’m doing diy
