Normal heart rate fluctuating a lot, should I be worried? - #16535
I’ve been monitoring my normal heart rate for the past few months, and I’ve noticed some strange fluctuations. Sometimes it’s around 70-75 bpm, which I think is okay, but other times, especially when I wake up or after eating, it jumps to 90-100 bpm. On some days, if I feel stressed or anxious, my normal heart rate spikes above 100 bpm even when I’m just sitting. Then, there are moments where it drops to 55-60 bpm, which feels too low. I went to a doctor, and they said my normal heart rate is within range and there’s nothing to worry about, but I don’t understand why it keeps changing so much. I don’t have any major health issues, but I do feel more tired lately, and I sometimes get lightheaded when I stand up too fast. Could this be a sign of an imbalance? I read that Ayurveda considers the heart and circulation as part of the balance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Could an aggravated dosha be causing these fluctuations in my normal heart rate? I also feel like my digestion has been sluggish, and I get bloated after eating. Could my gut health be affecting my heart rate? Are there Ayurvedic herbs or practices that can help maintain a steady normal heart rate? I’ve heard Ashwagandha and Arjuna might be good for the heart, but I’m not sure how to take them. Also, would breathing exercises like Pranayama help keep my heart rate stable? If anyone has experienced similar issues, did Ayurveda help? Should I be making any specific lifestyle changes to regulate my normal heart rate naturally? I’d love to hear some practical suggestions.
