Pulse rate

by maddybell, Jul 23, 2008 06:13PM
What could cause the pulse rate to suddenly increase from 80 bpm to 120 bpm (within 30 seconds) from
a sitting position to a standing position when the SPO2 stays in the high 90's throughout? My nocturnal
pulse =55 with 95 SPO2. Lowest daytime SPO2 with exercize=93.

Thanks!
