So I was concerned about this..🙄

So yesterday i decided to try and run for the first time. Around my building of course. And I wanted to track how fast my heartbeat was going and it was going around 148bpm just for one round around the building I was sprinting so that could be a factor. Came inside and I was short of breath so I went outside and I decided to kneel down in front of my sunflowers mind you it’s really hot outside and I just ran so my body is recovering I stood up quickly and my blood pressure dropped and my vision went dark and my body felt like I was going to fall. But thankfully I didn’t and I was ruminating about this for three hours cause in the moment I’m like my heart just failed let me check my blood pressure to make sure that I’m okay and I’ve been like this and asking mom to see if this is a heart condition and she doesn’t acknowledge this feeling and didn’t want me to constantly check my blood pressure 🙄🙄 this is hard tbh.

Blood pressure dropped because you probably stood up rashly, that happens often to everyone. I often get blackvisions because usually get up fast, but i just walk it off, it comes with a bit of dizziness so you need a moment but it passes quick. Also if youre running your bpm cant be slower than it measured for you 🫀🫀everything sounds normal and common tbh

@lemonmuffin OK, so I’m not freaking out about this as much as I did yesterday it’s been a long time since that actually happens to be like almost a year and I don’t know I kind of freaked out and I thought that was a normal so I started ruminating about it and it was weird really weird and what did you mean if I’m running my BPM can’t be slower than it measured for me did you mean my BPM can’t be faster than a measured for me

@Jailyn.h1 When youre running its expected to be fast, so 148 bpm sounds very normal, i once measured 139 bpm just because, probs because of stress, while standing still so no need to worry abt it.

@Jailyn.h1 Maybe try to not measure it that often since its feeding your anxiety
