Need advice

[Purple_1963]

Been having fast heart rate on n off for 2 days my heart rate is around 66bpm but I'm worried my heart is not functioning right.... I do av ECG booked for 22nd march.... Could this be anxiety making me fear the worst x

Purple. Relax. 66 is not high almost perfect. You mention anxiety could that makes you think your heart is not healthy. Good luck with ECG

Hi there, you have nothing to worry about, I've attached a print of my heart rate today, we are almost identical.Anxiety is an awful thing, your mind can play really silly games and blow things out of all proportion.

One thing I found after suffering a HA last year is that if you are seriously ill you don't have to wait for anything, despite all the issues we read about the NHS are really slick and efficient when the need arises.

Relax and don't worry, easy to say I know, is my advice, if they thought you had urgent need of tests and treatment it would have been done

My pulse today

Hi how do u check ur heart rate

[Hidden]

I've got a cheap Huawei smart watch, about £50 from Amazon and their app on my Android phone.....it measures lots of things.It's not a scientific instrument

It's not 100% accurate

But it gives you a good indication of what's going on in your body and importantly if things are changing.

I have finger oxymeter n the wave form is like teeth on a saw no dips just up n down wave is that good or bad 😔

Sorry I've no idea....on mine, I used it to moniter myself on my rehab program, I focussed on pulse and O2 saturation.Google will probably help.
