You’ll be fine. Mine always does that when I’m sick. I even get PVCs. That’s also how I know I have a fever. Body aches and heart rate over 100

I had this happen to me, I was 24, great shape. I would be relaxing and all of a sudden my heart rate would jump to 120-130 for 30 minutes or so. Went to the doctor/ER, wore a holster monitor, did stress tests, etc. They were convinced I was having fricking panic attacks and were trying to just dope me up.

Long story short, after 10 months of thinking I was going crazy, my gallbladder was bad. They pulled it and it all stopped.

About the same. I probably should have put more effort into seeing a doctor or PA today. Damn brain fog.

Is 115 resting bpm bad?

It's high but not terrible. If it gets over 140 go to the ER.

No. 60-100 is normal. 115 isn’t a cause of concern really. Treatment = $200 bag of normal saline. You’re welcome

A 115 heart rate isn’t tachycardia not much cause for concern.

Last year I experienced 140 bpm and a blood pressure spike a couple of times. When I got up and started moving around my heart rate slowly improved. Twice I was medically checked out and sent home. It happened a third time and I knew that I just needed to move around.

Since those episodes I went low carb, dropped 35 pounds and started walking miles and working out.

I was told if mine stayed above 120 go see my cardiologist.

Not related to COVID but I average just under 100 bpm. And I notice that I get migraines if it dips below 85.

Any recommendations besides how fat are you and have the will ready?
