Hi

None of us are Doctors on here and even if we were we could not give you an diagnosis on line

The best thing you could do is ask your Doctor this question , if they say it is fine then trust them and know it is your anxiety , if they have any concerns then they will make sure they give you the right treatment if any was needed :-)

Take Care x

They "modded" this...we all pointed this post to the direction of a physician for proper diagnosis because heart rate isn't always indicative of heart problems. I'll leave it there in lieu of being moderated.

Devices like Apple watch and many other fitness trackers are absolutely NOT reliable when it comes to measuring pulse/BP. I'm a practise nurse and I can't tell you how many worried well come in in a panic because of the read out on their device. Only properly calibrated (we calibrate our equipment every day) medical equipment can give you a reliable read out as to what your pulse is doing. Anxiety will make your pulse race when your heart is perfectly normal. If you are really worried you can ask your doc to give you a 24hr monitor to wear for a few days to get a reliable reading. But the likelihood is that you are 100% fine and are another victim of mobile devices trying to handle shit that is beyond their capabilities. Seriously we see it every single day. Don't worry!
