Goodr189 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I see a ton of topics and discussion around average resting rate and what's normal or not normal but I don't see much about average standing or active rate. What's yours? Mine seems to have settled in the high 90s, low 100-115 depending on my activity. On thr high end especially if I'm using my arms a lot.

Goodr189 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Reassuring to see similar numbers amongst us all. I've been obsessing a bit (thanks flu) and had too much time in bed worrying about these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmreber Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I'm on a beta blocker, but sitting: 70s-80s standing, normal daily activities: 90s-115 or so exercise (depending on what I'm doing): 130s-180s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Resting / Sitting: 36-70* Avg normal ~53 Standing: 84-110 Walking: 100-130 Intentional exercise: 125-175 *I feel best between 45-60; resting pulse does sometimes go ~70-90 but usually indicates my body's struggling, like last weekend when I was at a friend's house where humidity was thick and AC was off and I thought I was going to pass out.

I checked today and got 138 and 174 while walking outside (55 degrees outside). I bought a heart rate monitor but it hasn't arrived yet! So impatient! Walking up stairs 160-180 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arez2row Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Resting: 90-105 Standing: 110-140 Walking, light exercise: 150+ Currently can't do any more activity because of HR/BP .. but hopefully soon.. having a hard time getting POTs under control. (Taking Florenif, Midodrine, Propranolol, IV fluids, IVIG) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelloz Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 chiming in....resting upper 60's-80. Standing 90's Activity...even going up one flight of stairs 120's. A few freakish times of 140's for no apparent reason. Early on a jump from 60's to 120's just getting out of bed. I think pushing fluids helps. Over time this has calmed down some. I certainly can relate to the laying there and trying to figure it all out. I ruminate about all my symptoms quite a bit at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 A normal resting HR is considered to be 60-100. The more active you are, from standing, to walking to taking the stairs, the more your HR will go up. I think most of my friends and family would have a lower resting and active HR than mine. Mine is say 70-90 while sitting, 100-110 while standing, 110-120 while walking. I also have an abnormal response to motion - so if I roll over in bed, for example, my HR increases a lot. I think I have IST (inappropriate sinus tachycardia) in addition to POTS. But my doctors do not consider these numbers dangerous. The target and maximum heart rates are a lot more than most of us experience (see link below). That is why maybe why of us have a hard time getting treated. I focused a lot on my HR when I first developed POTS. After 10+ years, I have learned not to think about it, unless really far out of the range, like 120 sitting down or 140 walking. http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/HealthyLiving/PhysicalActivity/FitnessBasics/Target-Heart-Rates_UCM_434341_Article.jsp#.WOU9p032Zto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bec1978 Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Mine is 70 - 80 resting, 90 - 115 standing / walking short distances, and 120+ on an incline or doing any active exercise. But then I also have random high HR on bad days just from standing still. I feel unwell at 115 to 120 + though - tight in the chest, sore between my shoulder blades and very out of breath, as well as lightheaded. It makes it hard to exercise. I'm on fludrocortisone.

ChristinEdwards Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Wow I think I'm an outlier here haha. Resting: about 70 standing: 170+ My body still can't handle any exercise and all medications I've tried thus far have made my bp and hr drop dangerously low. Has anyone else with similar stats experienced the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichGotsPots Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 That's a good point. Not much research on this subject at all. It never fails to amaze me by the lack of research in Dysautonomia in general. Such a simple thing to compare active HR and autonomic labs don't do it. Students could do this research. Another thing I'd like people to test is how long it take their HR to slow down. So they walk on a treadmill and get their HR to 150 and then slow down a minute. Get off the treadmill and lay down flat. How long will your HR return to that low resting HR? Laying HR: 90-108 Sitting HR: 110-125 Stand HR: 135-155 Walking HR: 150-165 if I walked for 5 minutes straight and my HR went up to 165-175 range and then I sat down one min and then laid down it would take hours before my HR was 108 or less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebonnet08 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Now that I'm in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy.... Resting - 70-80 Sitting - 95-105 (sometimes as high as 115) Standing/doing something basic while upright- 110-130 "Attack" - 135-150 Before pregnancy it was all slightly lower. As for how long it takes to slow down... when I have an "attack", which comes on randomly, it lasts for about 15 minutes. It goes up VERY quickly and falls back down very quickly again. Very scary though because it occurs out of the blue. Wanted to say... I"m not on any medication, but do IVs twice a week. Before pregnancy they pushed the HR down a bit.
