I've just come off of beta blockers after 20 years. After being diagnosed and successfully treated for sleep apnea using CPAP, my blood pressure became too low. (Yes, sleep apnea CAN cause high BP, among other things).
Now that I'm off the BB my blood pressure is great, BUT my HR runs high. Resting 70-90 - and not resting can run over 131 just doing simple chores around the house or getting stressed about something. It doesn't spike more than 30 pts just by standing, so don't think it's POTS, though I was previously dx'd with POTS before my BP normalized.
There's an interesting article here about ME/CFS HR's being high https://www.healthrising.org/blog/tag/heart/
I'm interested to hear what the heart rates are for those of you who aren't on heart meds. Also age factors in. I'm 68.
Thanks!
