summer Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I usually find I am tachy while lying down on my worst days. It's not unusual for my heart rate to be between 100 and 110 lying down. At those times I find I have a greater HR increase when I stand as well. For example, on a better day it might go from 90 to 120 with standing, and on day when I feel worse, it might go from 105 to 155 with standing. I am also tachycardic while lying down if I have just eaten, had a bath, etc. I guess, in general, anytime I am more symptomatic this will happen.Summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes if I drink a lot and lay down a good hour or so, it gets around 90, at least, for some relief. Of course lying down isn't always possible, but if it is give it a try. If I am coming down with a cold/flu/etc. I also get these symptoms. If I am dehydrated, they start coming on like this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 It doesn't happen to me very much anymore, but I used to be tachy while resting. For a year or two my resting heartrate was always 100-120 or higher.Are you on a beta blocker? If the high hr continues while resting then your doctor may want to add a beta blocker to help the symptom.Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenwic Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 If I'm sick or have had a stressful day my HR will be up when I first lay down. If I lay with my arms folded above my head and exert some pressure on the top of my head for a few minutes (5-10) I will relax and my HR will come down. I read that it is supposed to release some calming chemicals through your body. But if I have a virus my HR will stay up for days and seems worse, maybe more noticeable, at night.
