Freaking out

I was sitting in my living room watching my kids play and I’ve had a head cold all week. But i checked my heart rate in my watch and it said 51. I went into complete freak out mode. I knew i was dieing or gonna die and now i can’t calm myself down. I’ve just been keeping busy and cleaning to keep my heart rate elevated

Hi Aliciar, it's ironic that just last week my pulse went down to 49.

Had no symptoms. Blood Pressure was normal. I too freaked but

decided to just monitor it since I felt okay.

Did talk with my doctor the next day because b/p and h/r went zooming

up from the anxiety of it all. I was dehydrated and started drinking more

water. It could just be a fluke. Unless you are feeling ill, you can wait to call

you doctor and run it by him tomorrow. xx

Some psychiatrists use antihistamines for anxiety. The reason is to calm

you down. Maybe that's what happened to you. xx

70 right now. I am feeling bad coughing and head congested I haven’t drank enough water today maybe only 40oz.

I was crocheting on the couch and I’m hoping that my watch just picked up or didn’t pick up the heart beats i don’t know i know these watches are accurate but i used them and truth which gets me into trouble like tonight
