withdrawal heart beat is very fast...

i am on day 3 now on my wd's and im completely calm i took klonpin before and i went to check my heart beat and blood pressure and my heart beat was at 105bps and i have been laying down doing nothing and my blood presse was like 160 over 98 i took a colonidine and now my pressure is 128 over 92 but my heartbeat is at 109 and even faster, is this normal and at what point should i be concerned about this?

and i am not having a panic attack im actually really relaxed other than the wd's   anyone know whats going on??

I had an episode last night, same thing.  blood pressure was good, heart was pounding.  just chill, lay back, deep breaths.  your blood pressure is still kinda high.  
i feel speedy today, i even look stoned, and i'm damn cold sober.  i told my hubby i feel like i'm on drugs, and i'm not.  it's not even a fun feeling, just a **** feeling.
it should pass ron, deep breaths.....

yeah usually blood pressure goes up during detox, im chilling out just laying watching tv and on the computer....i didnt even know my heart beat was over a 100 i just went to check the pressure and i was like damnn...so i took a colonidine and now i checked again its at 134 over 92 :\   at least my heartbeat went down 4 bps  well hopefully this goes away and doesnt go higher....

i know what u mean you have the sober high, i usually get really talkative after the first few days and i feel like im on speed or something lol

keep it goin kell  :)

i'm proud you made to to your g/f without drugs.  One big hurdle done.  
today kinda *****, and it's only 2:30 here, alot of day 4 left.  Ick.  I definantly need to remember how this day feels, cause I don't want a repeat.
I'm glad to hear my speedy feeling is normal during detox.

how are you checking bp?
do you have heart palps or bp problems?
its great that you are keeping track of your bp
in rehab the get patients bp every couple of hours

i bought a blood pressure machine nothing crazy but one for the house its very accurate...i get heart palpitations but only when im on pills or when they come outta my system sometimes...thats one big reason why i got to quit also..

yeah they always check blood pressure at rehab because they say its good to monitor it and also i want to only take colonidine when i need it but man i didnt even know my heartbeat was even high??

im gonna take one more reading and see if it went down/

[ronny3]

ok its not at 137 over 88 isnt that in a safe range now?  and my heartbeat went down to 88!!  yes!  i think im fine now...:)

thanks everyone..

[kelley43]

yep, b/p good.  120/80 is textbook, so you're good.  and your pulse is coming down nicely.
now you got me worried...i'm going upstairs to check mine, cause I don't feel good, but I can't take anything cause I have to drive soon.  But my body feels so uncomfortably speedy.
****!

your bp might even be better than mine...hehe
i have been on both sides of the bp cuff
i have been in tx so many times , i would cuss out whoever woke me up to take my morning bp
then when i started working at a rehab i was paid back in full
everybody their first week gave me an ear full about that damn bp
i know i am driving you crazy but are you going to try na?

[ronny3]

yeah i just called my docter he said thats fine and not high for what im going through, its because our body is under stress and he said and we know why heh...well i said what about my heart rate being high he said dont worry about it, if it gets to 150 then you should worry about  :)   made me feel a little better...

yeah we get speedy when we come off these things, i guess its because weve been doped out so long and now that we arent anymore we are just finally feel awake..

[ronny3]

your definately not driving me crazy at all, i actually appreciate the replys...i have believed i needed na for a looong time i just can never get in to speak...im a very outgoing person but to do something like that would really bring my bp up high and my heartrate too....but i know i need to and hopefully i can finally start going i know of afew places by me in new york..
