Group 7-day waking average?

There is something definitely VERY wrong now & a definite pattern I can see now looking over my previous few days of heart rate readings! Just under an hour after breakfast today & my heart is racing again harder than it has 133 at 10: 55 & it takes hours to come back down yesterday! Just called GP & have appointment to see her at 3pm! It’s definitely not a hypo as before breakfast at 09:44 BS 8.0 & 58 minutes after, Timesulin cap, 10:48 BS 13.5! It starts racing after eating & calms down in between & was pretty normal by the time I went to bed last night! I can see that clearly now looking at the readings & comparing to the times I ate!

Had to get up & walk to the hall from my bedroom to get the phone, can be very long wait on the phone at times to get through & very costly on the mobile, so, the 133 was just after getting back to bed, where I’m lying down! After phone call it’s starting to calm a bit at 116 at 11:10.

I’m relieved to get to see the GP & will get it sorted out! Will post when I can!

Just back from GP & I may have CV, again, & need to book a test! I ordered a postal test kit as I can’t travel by public transport or taxi to a test centre, at Coleraine University in the next town 7 miles away, or anyone living with me with a car, I live alone & don’t drive, & will be here by 2 days at the latest! Will get further instructions when it gets here & results by phone or email.

I feel totally wiped out after my trip to & from the GP. Blood pressure is borderline top figure & perfect lower at 141/79 just after I toddled in baby steps to the GP’s office with heart rate of 142 after toddling & down the corridor! Chest sounds ok & heart rate had dropped back down to 100 after talking to doctor a few minutes. GP will arrange another 24 hour monitor in the near future, no date given, & will have an ECG at the health centre treatment room on 25/05/21 at 14:15 & I will eat about an hour before so a tracing can be seen after I eat!

In the meantime was told to wait it out & if I get worse or have chest pains go to A&E?

I’m skipping lunch now as I’m SO exhausted by the little outing & heart rate has cakmed down to about 99 at 15:43: will sleep & eat later; then, keep an eye on the heart rate!
 
@ColinUK, good to hear from you. Keep posting when you feel up to it. You know you best and so you'll know when you feel up to things again. Take care.

@Robin, have a great time.

@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats on the HS

@Lanny, rest and take care. I hope you're ok.

Hope I haven’t forgotten anyone, it was a long time since this morning lol 🙂
 
04:48 BS 8.3 3 hours & 43 minutes after eating, a cup of tea with milk & honey & 2 chocolate mousse, chocolate aero just to have something with NR: throat has become very dry & coughing again; it’s the effort of cooking that puts up my heart rate & without that, still getting up & going to the kitchen & back, it only goes up a little & kept it under 100 albeit JUST at 99 as the highest! Been feeling very internally chilled so, have heater on at 21c & that could be a sign that I’m a bit feverish or at least my internal body temperature control is off kilter?

Read up all the info from the PCR testing website & watched the video of how to test, when kit gets here, & finally dawned on me to question how I post the test back if I can’t even go to a test centre using public transport or a taxi: didn’t even occur to me earlier when I ordered the kit before going to sleep! Looked up the info & there are priority post boxes but, the same thing applies, called 119 to ask, & with the way I’m feeling I can’t walk the 0.5 miles there & the same back to my nearest one. So, I need to call 119 again when I get the test kit & taken the swab to get a courier to come to my front door to pick it up the next day. So, kit should be here on Thursday & be picked up on Friday.

Wasn’t awake for long, around 23:00 & about to go to sleep again & posting this before I do!

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! Only because it’s for you lovely lot can I post a 😉 otherwise, it would be me propping up a Mono Lisa so so smile like this one:confused:

Whether this is just a cold or CV, I’ll have to fight it myself & there’ll be some mountain climbing ahead!
 
Early on parade again. I don’t know why I’m waking early, maybe it’s the sun.

A credible 5.3 at 05:30.
 
Morning folks. 6.2 Early start for me, not because I had a bad night, but because I had a good night! Got HCA appointment at 9.15, bloods and feet tickling etc, at the other end of town. May take a while as it’ll be school run/ rush minute ( we’re not a big city), so I’ll set off earlier than normal. I would have got up 6ish anyways as I like to make sure my breakfast has “ gone” before I leave the house! TMI? One of the many side effects of being mostly pancreasless is gastric trouble. I’ll say no more as you may be having your breakfast! 🙄

Looks like I just missed a lovely sunrise, today’s forecast is pretty good, not raining for a start. I have a friend coming this afternoon for the first time in a very long time. It’ll be great to see her other than on FaceTime or the doorstep but it has meant I’ve had to up my cleaning routine! Got a bit lazy this last year or so and it’s all been a bit “lick and a promise” at times! 😛

Hope everyone has the best day they can. 🙂
 
Good Morning Wednesday
bit of a shocking 8.1 today

Oh Lanny, that all sounds terrible. Couldn’t one of your family pick up your test and post it? Or a neighbour or friend?
Re your high BP and fast heart rate. You may remember or not, but Mr Eggy has a complex chronic heart condition. In fact he was at docs yesterday for an ECG, bloods and BP check as his BP has been up and down for a couple of weeks and his heart rate is very erratic. They’ve sent ECG to his cardiologist as it was “abnormal”. Fingers crossed it’s no more abnormal than the last one. Anyhoo, what I was going to say is, have you thought about what you’re eating or drinking prior to these episodes? Mr Eggy has to be careful with chocolate, caffeine drinks or even too much tea ( he doesn’t drink coffee). All these are stimulants and send his heart racing thus raising his BP. Alcohol does this too but I know you’re not a drinker. Maybe keep a food diary for a few days and see how it goes. Or maybe swap your Coke, tea etc for caffeine free on your next Tesco order. Even the chocolate mousses ( I don’t suppose they have much real chocolate in) could start it off. It’s just a thought and I hope you don’t mind me mentioning it. But I know how distressing it is to feel like that. Mr Eggy gets very worried about it and then that makes his BP and heart rate go even worse. So try and relax, difficult I know, do some diaphragmatic breathing, I can’t do it but Mr Eggy swears by it, and hopefully you may find things settle down. Good luck with everything, I’m sure your Covid test will be negative. Take care. 🙂
 
Morning all, a 7 on the nose. Raining yet again, the grass is very green. MOT today, it’s overdue, oops! Then after that, and work, I have my favourite place, the dentist, well hygienist for a good scraping, yukkity yuck!! Well that’s my day sorted, hope yours is better x
 
Good morning everyone. Its bright and sunny out there too so it will be good weather for my daughter and family camping. I had a great day doing pretty much nothing and a great nights sleep. No fuss during the day and no one snoring or getting up during the night. I bought a hugely expensive film in Sainsburys (£3) and, as I guessed, it turned out to utter drivel. Sigh. I will waste my money....

My wife rang me twice yesterday, which is unusual because she is frightened of telephones !!!

I will pop out to the beach later on for a relaxing walk.

4.8 BG this morning. Good.

Another relaxing day today, yesssss.
 
4.5 Work getting stressy now traffic is back to normal not enjoying it at all which is a shame.
 
Morning all. 6.6 this morning after another high overnight and alarm waking me. Graph shows it is always around 3am, could it be DP kicking in? If so, is there anything i can do as these 3am wakings are taking its toll now.
@Lanny, i hope you feel better soon.
Enjoy your day everyone.
 
4.3 for me today. 🙂

Dez
