hr 160

Heart rate 160 when just getting up to go to the bathroom what would cause this? Im on 30 holsterthe tthing that scares me is that I wasn't pressing the button becuase they told me itd pick up everything it needed so I wasn't but for I got chest pressure and a huge headache and I was like oh well I'll press it because the first day and a half it was picking heart rates over 120 and irregular up and down beats. My question is why would my heart rate jump to 160 just going pee

I would wait for the results of your monitor. This could be an SVT of some kind, and if it is, then it's actually a good thing that it happened when it did, because it will be recorded on the monitor and your doctor will be able to diagnose you and deal with it accordingly.

Keep us posted and good luck :)

Well, it shouldn't go that high when going to the bathroom. That's probably why they have you wearing the monitor. Once they see your heart rate and rhythm, they'll have a better idea of what is specifically causing your high rate. My heart rate can jump from 70 to 190 in a beat but I know what it is and how to deal with it. My arrhythmia is harmless but takes me by surprise.

How long do you have to wear the monitor? I know waiting is very difficult. You want to know what's going on and how can they fix it. They will sort it out.
