Heart rate :(

[anxietymadman123]

My heart rate while resting is about 44 and I’m so scared I’m only 22, don’t really exercise I’d say I walk everyday but I wouldn’t count that as athletic, struggled with diziness and breathless, I applied for a cardiologist appointment but it can take 3 months to come back, it does fluctuate so it can be 44 then go up to like 56 then up to 60 then down again, I find it hard not to worry, doctors done a 24hr ecg and said my heart goes to 45bpm when sleeping, I’m awake and have been for a few hours so why is it that low? They said no heart block so am fine

It's all pat of your condition , at least you have a diagnosis now

What do you mean

[lillyofthevalley37 in reply to anxietymadman123]

You were diagnosed with a condition recently so the varying heart rate is part of that isn't it ? You need to start deep breathing this is how you do it -

Breathe in through your nose slowly filling your lungs with air expand your ribs to hold as much air as you can then hold it - hold it for as long as you can. then slowly breathe out through your mouth emptying all the air , wait a second then repeat

This will flood your mind and body with oxygen the more you do it the better at it you will become , the more air you will be able to hold , you can do it laid in bed
