Heart rate
I've been taking panic attacks for the last week or so and went to the doctor telling her I had been having bad heart palpitations and pains in my chest and she is referring me to a heart palpitation specialist but she gave me propranolol because she thinks it may be anxiety, but I'm lying in my bed just watching TV and my heart rate is 51 - 60 roughly bpm, is this too low should I be worried I'm such a panicked and I would just like someone to try and put my mind at rest :(???
Mine is always between 55-60 and that is normal. That is what my dr. told me. Ask for and ECG it will make you feel better.
Gary,
while lying in bed, a heart rate of 51-60 is quite normal.
Anxiety can easily cause heart palpitations and chest discomfort. Do not start thinking already about some serious illness.
Just let the heart specialist rule out any heart related causes.
If there are not any, what I expect, discuss with your doctor how to tackle your symptoms.
good luck.
