Higher HR when eating

My Heart beat seems to feel quicker while I’m eating and I just measured it on my heart monitor app it was around 121bpm. Normal?

It originally was at 135 then went down to about 121 as I kept eating. I’m in Canada. I think they say a normal resting heart rate is usually 60-100 bpm at rest mine usually stays around 80-84 pretty consistently same numbers at drs. Just never noticed it went up when eating wasn’t sure if it’s normal or not 😊

Also apps are not always reliable no mattwr how good you think it is it will never tell a true BO unless your using a BP cuff.. i used an app on iphone to check heart rate and its not accurate i stay at 77 and its telling me im at 80 or above lol so pleaseeeee dont rely on tech

That is high but not serious without other symptoms. You may be anxious or even excited. My sister drinks coffee a lot and hers stays from 120 to 125. Otherwise she is perfectly fine. It can go up for so many silly things. Activity, like eating, can cause it You are obsessing over finding something wrong with you. I know a lot of us do that. Your doc said your heart sounded good. None of us are doctors that I’m aware. We can’t diagnose you. If you’re that concerned you should talk to your doctor. I suggest not using your app at all. Your doctor isn’t concerned. Your focusing so much on dying your not living. I know how that is. Trust me. I had to convince myself that if I died I won’t even know it. I won’t hurt or be sad. Nothing. So why worry about it. It helps my anxiety about doing things because it won’t matter to me if I die so I could quit worrying about it. I just needed to let go. Sometimes I let go too much because I’m sick of doctors, medicine etc. My mom bugs me about it. I do the same to her though. I worked in ICU for so long and the squad. Sometimes I know too much so I quit looking. The doctor called today to tell me he was calling me I am RX because of my blood work. I didn’t even go get it. I just went yesterday and lowered doses on meds so I could wean off everything not absolutely necessary and end up with a new Med. This getting old crap is for the birds. I’ll get it sometime but no hurry. I had to go in the exact opposite mind frame. I don’t even try and constantly get crap wrong with me. You are so young. Exercise, eat right and try not to focus on it too much. That alone will cause it to go up. Take a walk instead. Breathe some fresh air and stop and smell the roses. Live!

I was telling you how I helped myself because I kept doing that. I was trying to reassure you because I do care. I in no way am try to be snarky. I would never intentionally do that. I promise you! I was trying to help. I suffer a lot! Way too much. That’s why I’m here. We have so much in common. I never meant to hurt you. I never said not to Post either. Others told you to try not to look at app. I’m sorry if you took this wrong. I was trying to help. If I was being snarky or mean it would be obvious. I’m not that clever. I won’t give you advice. No problem. I’m free to Post just like you are. You just jumped on me when I had nothing but kindness in my heart. I like helping people because I don’t want anyone to feel like me. I said the same as others. My anxiety makes me write or talk more to try to clarify because I don’t want to sound mean. Telling you how I had to handle it is not mean. That’s my truth. I still worry. It’s a constant struggle. If I have a good day I celebrate it. They are rare. So I’m in no place to be mean. I’m sorry you felt that way.
