My Fitbit record showing heart rate spikes to 125 was one of the things that I noticed that suggested I was having a heart attack in 2020 (I was).
- stavros 1y agoHm, why is 125 a heart attack? Isn't that a fairly normal heart rate for exertion? Or were you just at rest?
- firesteelrain 1y agoGP could have been having a non STEMI heart attack.
- lazyasciiart 1y agoI was, actually, but I don’t know how that’s connected? This was something like a ten minute spike in the middle of the night, a couple of times.
- firesteelrain 1y agoThe sympathetic nervous system activates, increasing heart rate and the body is trying to compensate for the compromised heart muscle. Then, there is the possible adrenaline surge because you are actually in pain. If the NSTEMI causes left ventricular dysfunction, the heart compensates with a faster rate to maintain blood flow. I went through this with a relative just two weeks ago and learned this from the cardiologists
- lazyasciiart 1y agoI was lying down at rest.
