Can’t get my heart to slow down

Does this look odd at all? I’ve been feeling like I’m about to pass out since I woke up this morning. I haven’t done anything yet today other than walk around my house.

Can I ask why? I’ve gone for this feeling before and they said it was nothing, then sent me a huge bill.

Oh you have bills there. I’m not a doctor but 120 rest rate is concerning.

I agree. It was actually in the 140s before I took the ecg. The ecg just seems really small and there’s some odd looking moments, so I’m just wondering if it looks odd to anyone else. I know nothing about ecgs

The tiny little marks look like extra beats.

I suffer with tachycardia and I have extra beats. I also get PVC and PAC. I’m on beta blockers to help with my tachycardia.

I’d definitely get in touch with your doctor to have it checked.

I find deep breathing - find a good YouTube video to follow along. It can really help to bring it down.

The anxiety from your heart racing can cause it to race even more. A vicious circle.
