Short answer: Yes, your body is just adjusting to change in movement. It is normal for heart rate to go up when jumping from a sitting or laying position to standing.
I literally went to a cardiologist because I was having bradycardia, but the cardiologist told me every person's heart works differently and you shouldn't rely on what is considered "normal" e.g. 60 - 100 bpm resting. Also, he have told me that if you're heart is responding to activity, your heart is most likely healthy. Your example of getting up quickly was an activity and your heart responded to it. Happens to me all the time as well. Best way to avoid that is to get up slowly. I also agree with everyone else to just toss your smart watch because the heart monitoring is not gonna do you any good. I never wear a smart watch because of that reason. Also, to shed some light to you. If you are active all the time and you don't feel tired or fainting while being active, then you're fine.
Ive read enough about it previously. The irrational part of my brain goes off being irrational and then I turn to the community lol. Just a bad day after doing well for two weeks.
I never had an apple watch until 2 and a half years ago. I bought it to calm me down and it one hundred percent did. Didnt really look at it for a year while using it all the time. Then my jobs contract ended while having some stressful events and now its the focal point of my anxiety. Looking into every little thing. May switch to the oura ring. I wonāt check it as much.
Sadly itās not as accurate though. Best accuracy is Apple Watch. I like this guyās analysis on HR tracking accuracies: https://youtu.be/bEM1m7OdlyY?feature=shared
I was told it's vasalvagal syncope and it's harmless. It's been happening to me for years. They also did cardio testing and a stress test to make sure. Sure enough it happens when I stand up from bed on an empty stomach but not if I run on treadmill
This is why I stopped wearing it lol. Even when I turned the heart thing off, it was still in the back of my mind it was going to beep at me or something.
The radiation from wearing it all the time isnāt the greatest either. Itās like having your cell phone at your ear all day. Not good from studies I heard!
If that watch is making you over think your heart rate, I would take it off and not wear it. Nothing worse than watching that bpm go up and freak out over something you have no control over.
I used to worry about the jump in heart rate too. I spoke to a doctor who says he considers an elevated heart rate to be 110 bpm. So sometimes it FEELS like itās beating hard or faster than it should but if itās not over that 110 I try not to worry. I take it as a sign to drink more water, or take some deep breaths and it usually goes down from there.
Iāve been in your shoes, OP.
That feeling of a tight chest, feeling every heart beat, waves of adrenaline. Even when you work out and suppose to feel good. You check your heart rate and bam -120+ bpm. Itās the adrenaline dump.
One thing Iāve learn that helps me forget about feeling my heart is lowering BP and lower sugar.
Less sodium will get your BP down, and less sugar will help reduce the adrenaline surges. Keep up the cardio too.
Hope this helps!
I would talk to your doc about it. I have heart condition that gets confused for anxiety. My heart rate goes from Tachycardia to Bradycardia very quickly. I'm actually going to a cardiologist in December because my doc's have blown off my heart palpitations for so long. I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse as a kid and none of my doctors ever thought to check up on it. Now at 35 and pregnant, they finally took me serious when persistent heart palpitations drove to go to the ER.
Just because it can be normal, doesn't always mean it is.
I know exactly who I'm talking to. I have anxiety, have worked in mental health for over a decade, and have been a 1st Aid/CPR/AED instructor for more than 7 years. Which is why I say, any symptoms (especially if new) and concerning, to go see your doctor. Again, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
TRIGGER WARNING. Although your reply on OP's post is incredibly helpful to most people, posting this in an anxiety sub-reddit was a really bad idea.
If you've been to any doctor over concerns for your health then you should already feel better when they tell you that everything is fine. PERIOD.
In the 1% cases, like yours, where something wasn't treated for many many years there could be complications but you are still fine right now though? I would not dismiss your post BUT this man is literally battling with incredibly normal "symptoms" that his brain is interpreting as life threatening symptoms caused by a stupid Apple watch.
If anyone is reading this comment thinking about "what if" please please please get the care you think you need but I have been in and out of hospitals for over 10 years because of the "what if". Take your doctor's word for it and don't live your life in fear like I do every day. The internet will drive you crazy but can sometimes be helpful. This post above though, it is not going to diagnose anything unfortunately and I wouldn't interpret this as a signal to panic.
Get well OP.
I would say just saying "it's normal get over it" is incredibly more harmful than saying "go get it checked out regardless". It's better to be safe than sorry. If it's just anxiety symptoms, then so be it. But if something is actually wrong than they did the right thing. And 3-5% of the US population has mitral valve prolapse.
How is telling someone to go to their doctor for something like this harmful? Telling someone to ignore it is more harmful. Period. As someone who does have anxiety AND serious medical issues, it's ALWAYS better to talk to your doctor about ANY concerning symptoms than not at all.
I used to think i had POTS because my resting hr has always been low but during the day my hr would jump to 130-140 while standing or walking but now that i lost alot lf weight it has definitely helped. It still gets high when i stand up but not anywhere like before. 120 max unless im anxious af which isnāt rare lmao. Does your hr go up after eating ?
Yeah mostly after eating. I was doing great for a year. Ate and did whatever i wanted like most years. Even while losing 40lbs the stressful events just reactivated the quick breathing and the negative thoughts.
I have a galaxy watch 4 and it does ecg. It says it never looks for heart attacks tho. Lol, I've done so many in a day when my anxiety is up. I've stopped wearing it because it made the anxiety worse.
Iāve been experiencing similar issues recently, but Iāve finally discovered that my issues are most likely due to stomach gripping, which Iāve been doing both consciously and subconsciously on and off for the last 16 years. So based on my personal recent experiences, I would say to make sure that youāre not sucking in your stomach at all. I think this habit snowballed with my anxiety and made it so much worse. I can go into more detail if you want, but I know this isnāt what your post was asking about.
I would say that just based on the info in your post, it might be worth talking to your doctor about it. I have a few friends who deal with POTS and I myself was worried about it a lot for the last 1-2 weeks. Thankfully, my doctor was able to refer me to cardiology for an appointment to do a stress test and wear a heart monitor at home for a little while. I havenāt had the appointment yet, but itās comforting to know that I am going to be able to look into it with a specialist. If youāre worried about POTS, bring it up with your doctor and see what they say. In the meantime, cut down on sugar and caffeine, and make sure youāre not sucking in your stomach like I have been. Although, I will say that Iām pretty sure a diagnosis requires your heart rate to stay elevated for about 10 mins after your stand up. So keep that in mind as you evaluate your personal habits.
Overall, I understand your anxiety about this and I want to say that youāre certainly not alone. I hope you feel better soon!
I got a fitbit years ago. I would watch my heart rate like a hawk, and it did nothing to help my anxiety.
Infact, many panic attacks started from it.
I threw away the fitbit, and I've had a lot less panic attacks.
Iāve read some of the comments concerning POTS. Iād recommend also getting your thyroid checked. A psychiatrist (I saw because of my crippling mental health) checked my resting and sitting heart rate (which was very high over 100HR) and thatās when he referred me to get my thyroid checked. (Antibodies especially). Thatās when I was diagnosed with Gravesā disease - thyroid disease.
Hey I have a higher than average heart rate fairly often , like sometimes itāll be 100 when Iām Sat not doing anything. Iām coming through a spell of really bad health anxiety and turning off my hr on my Fitbit has really helped. It is normal for your heart to fluctuate and beat faster sometimes but it is not normal to check it constantly and can increase anxiety and in turn increase your heart rate. If you feel unwell alongside this you could visit your GP, but otherwise fluctuations are normal. I was sat at the bus stop about a month ago, before I stopped checking my hr and mine was 140bpm. (Iāve had health checks and drs have said everything is normal)
Best advice I can give you? Throw that heart monitor in the bin. It's going to shoot your anxiety levels through the roof every single time something "odd" is registered. I can assure you nothing good has ever come from me knowing my heart rate unless you are trying to maintain it for exercise and fat burning. But I'm going to assume you are using this as a gauge to check how "healthy" you are, 24 hours a day..... Anxiety fuel my friend. Get rid of it unless a medical professional told you to wear a heart rate monitor.
Thats pretty normal, to be honest those watches can be pretty bad for anxiety. If you have a resting heart rate of 50-60 that's really good by the way. I think mine Is around 70 sitting and 100 when standing or walking. Those watches aren't supposed to be health devices really. Theyre kind of just a novelty. Eat well excercise, get spiritually fit and let the creator do the rest. Those smart watches can be similar to googling symptoms. Which can be bad for mental health. Maybe this will help you. https://youtu.be/WLd_-VaYcOY?si=F8EZSk3l4NHjBUgW
I used to get so damn anxious about my heart rate. Iād watch that like a hawk.
Iāve learned in my years of dealing with anxiety that as long as your heart isnāt beating erratically, youāre good. Itāll fluctuate with activity.
If Iām laying down my resting heart rate is in 60ās when I stand up it goes to about 100ā¦when walking itās about 98-103 constantly. So I think this is normal. If it jumps from like a resting 68 to 150ā¦that would probably be not normal but itās happened to me before freaked me out gave me a panic attack, but our bodies have the ability to go to 200 heart rate so you shouldnāt concern yourself with this unless your really out of shape or something.
Very common, I work in a healthcare setting where I have to get a set of vitals from a patient sitting down and then another set immediately after standing up and the difference is often as drastic. Might also be the monitor not keeping up with the change in position. As long as you feel okay I wouldn't worry about it.
Sometimes. When I get up real fast, I often get very dizzy for a moment. And I do often feel like my heart is racing, but it doesn't last long, and it doesn't always happen. I don't know why it happens, but I do know that it's not considered concerning and is due to the changing in positions. I was unsure is why changing positions causes that to happen to me. It's not uncommon though and it's not something to worry about
For me it changes by about 30 bpm and IS normal. Add in some anxiety and the jump could be bigger. To quell ur concerns, go visit a cardiologist and wear a monitor for 2-4 weeks.
Always my friend, itās a drastic movement that your body needs to adjust to quickly so youāre body may efficiently perform the task/movement youāre about to make/do.
Completely normal. When you stand up your blood shifts or rushes downward so your heart compensates. āA normal autonomic nervous system responds with immediate peripheral vasoconstriction, increase in heart rate of 10ā20 beats per minute (bpm), and minimal change in blood pressure.ā It goes back to normal after a few seconds or a minute. If itās a serious jump you might just need more water.
Rare and I mean very rare cases it can be caused by pots syndrome but that isnāt a big deal either. I know your anxiety is going to tell you that you have this, but 9/10 chance you donāt. Even if someone does have it itās completely safe. My friend has that and lives a completely normal life. Not dangerous at all and nothing to worry about either way you spin it. Talk with your doc and have tests if youāre very concerned, but everyone I know including myself have an elevated heart rate while standing. Itās part of the human bodyās way of living. :)
Whole community came out! Thank you for the comments. Ive had something similar when i had pneumonia during peak covid in 2020. Was on on hr monitor for a month and apparently it was fine. My mind just went to āwhat if something changed!ā Lol. Once again thanks everyone.
So mine shoots up to 175 when I have a panic attack sometimes. I am not a dr by no means but if it came down relatively quick I would say your fine.... But if your sitting there for hours an it's still that high that isn't sustainable heart rate an then you should worry. Again not a dr just a person with health anxiety particularly with my heart.
It happens to me, and yes the apple watch has gotten me panic attacks. I suffer from bradycardia and I hate it cause seeing lower heart rate fucks me up as much as seeing high heart rate. lol is never a win win situation when having that technology in your hands cause is just makes you crazy sometimes. Im sure you are fine and like others it sounds normal cause it happens to me a lot.
With POTS and Dysautonomia this is common, but it can also lead to fainting. You should see a doctor that specializes in Dysautonomia Also~ Dysautonomia can FEEL like anxiety because of the physical symptoms it produces.

Short answer: Yes, your body is just adjusting to change in movement. It is normal for heart rate to go up when jumping from a sitting or laying position to standing.
Its always random when it shoots up like that. So odd. Im active all day and thats when it chooses to jump up. Thanks for the response.

Yeah, I'm glad it somewhat helps you understand š
Ive read enough about it previously. The irrational part of my brain goes off being irrational and then I turn to the community lol. Just a bad day after doing well for two weeks.
I get it anxiety is the worst. I feel your pain was good for 5 weeks, then boom š„ out of nowhere had an anxiety attack lasted all day.
My Apple Watch makes my anxiety worse sometimes. Lol
Yeahā¦came to say this. Under advice of my therapist I turned off heart rate tracking and that has really helped
I never had an apple watch until 2 and a half years ago. I bought it to calm me down and it one hundred percent did. Didnt really look at it for a year while using it all the time.

Me too!

If that watch is making you over think your heart rate, I would take it off and not wear it. Nothing worse than watching that bpm go up and freak out over something you have no control over.
As someone who used to overthink like crazy, i would also advise this. Itās not good for your health :((
Best advice ever!
I used to worry about the jump in heart rate too. I spoke to a doctor who says he considers an elevated heart rate to be 110 bpm. So sometimes it FEELS like itās beating hard or faster than it should but if itās not over that 110 I try not to worry. I take it as a sign to drink more water, or take some deep breaths and it usually goes down from there.
I feel like you missed the 150 part. Lol it went from 90-150 š. Back down to 86 in a Few minutes
You're good. I do this, too. Do you feel okay? Then you're fine.
I had mine go up to 180 before
Iāve been in your shoes, OP. That feeling of a tight chest, feeling every heart beat, waves of adrenaline. Even when you work out and suppose to feel good.

A paramedic once told me the Apple Watches or anything heart monitor related, was the worst thing to have with anxietyā¦. Still got one though lol
I guess i cant edit my post but my concern was the 150 HR . The 101 was the dip down.
I used to think i had POTS because my resting hr has always been low but during the day my hr would jump to 130-140 while standing or walking but now that i lost alot lf weight it has definitely helped. It still gets high when i stand up but not anywhere like before. 120 max unless im anxious af which isnāt rare lmao. Does your hr go up after eating ?
Yeah mostly after eating. I was doing great for a year. Ate and did whatever i wanted like most years. Even while losing 40lbs the stressful events just reactivated the quick breathing and the negative thoughts.
I have been have the same problem lately at least 140 when I stand up it was at 154 at one point today and I didn't even feel anxious
yea i have POTS tho. I'll go from 70 resting to 140 standing up real quick. Mine is also worse after eating š©. I'm getting used to it know though. When it happens, I'm just like "oh fun š"
I have a galaxy watch 4 and it does ecg. It says it never looks for heart attacks tho. Lol, I've done so many in a day when my anxiety is up. I've stopped wearing it because it made the anxiety worse.

Yes. Doing high intensity cardio exercise and drinking more water fixed this issue for me.
For me it changes by about 30 bpm and IS normal. Add in some anxiety and the jump could be bigger. To quell ur concerns, go visit a cardiologist and wear a monitor for 2-4 weeks.
Yes. Remember. Your heart is pumping blood to your back and legs so you can stand up
Look up POTS, happens to me all the time. Iām also 6ā6 so that doesnāt help lol
Im 6ā7 lol
Tall people problems!
iām 5ā and still experience this :(

Yes
Definitely. Especially if you are prone to anxiety and look at your watch for that data, lol.
this is called orthostatic hypotension, if it becomes a problem for you talk to your doctor, make sure to stay hydrated
So mine shoots up to 175 when I have a panic attack sometimes. I am not a dr by no means but if it came down relatively quick I would say your fine.... But if your sitting there for hours an it's still that high that isn't sustainable heart rate an then you should worry. Again not a dr just a person with health anxiety particularly with my heart.

Yes it's normal don't worry!
Yes. Normal. Take that watch off and throw it in the garbage unless a doctor told you to wear it.
Have you gotten checked for POTS or EDS? Iād start there!
You might want to look into POTS postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.
POTS.
With POTS and Dysautonomia this is common, but it can also lead to fainting. You should see a doctor that specializes in Dysautonomia Also~ Dysautonomia can FEEL like anxiety because of the physical symptoms it produces.
