The longer you stay anxious and keep pushing the button on your Fitbit checking heart rate over and over its gonna stay elevated.

Try learning breathing techniques, muscle relaxation exercises or find other ways to calm down.

I'd toss the fitbit, gadgets are nice, but it adds fuel to the flames for health anxiety.

I have had this happening for last year now and still happening despite seeing cardiologist who ruled out any heart issues, i too have just gone to collect kids and its at 130, now that ive lied down resting at 100, still having ongoing tests to find cause, i have hashimotis (underactive thyroid) but been on meds for years, i think its hormonal??? I take beta blocker only as needed to help, which i then feel normal like i used 2.
