racing heart dumbass
Today while working I ate a handful of chocolate covered espresso beans. Not wanting to eat more, I savored the last one, and kept the bean in my mouth for awhile.
Well, within 90 minutes, I had a racing pulse; 91bpm. I was about to have a panic attack. Yawning or taking controlled breaths did not help, it only made it worse. So my man took me out on errands he had to run, and then we went for an hour walk. My pulse got down to 80. When we got in the door again, my heart rate kicked back up. It’s now at 87bpm.
GAH.
NICE GOING, DUMBASS.
Remember your rule? Caffeine will KILL you?
argh.
Ok, now I’m down to 73bpm.
…and back up to 77bpm within five minutes.
I know it’s likely the caffeine that made my heart race, but I’m still gonna go spend time on endocrineweb.com now, and tomorrow I will call the allergy and immunology doctor back again and ask more questions. I hit every symptom in the book except for the hair loss.
