@JennKay my heart rate is not normally this high when at rest. It’s been staying there since I got sick with the flu in December. I have not been on Corlanor, but I have been on 3 different beta blockers and they are completely ineffective to my heart rate, but they make me extremely sleepy, more so than I already am, which is saying something. Thank you for your response! I appreciate it! @Pistol I know my body is just responding to stress and I absolutely hate it. My body (as is the case with all of us with this illness) has betrayed me. As for being able to break up my schedule, my job does not offer that option. I can drop my hours in 45 days, but……my pocketbook would be hurting! These are the hours I need to work to be able to keep my insurance, which is a MUST! But I sincerely appreciate your response! Thank you.

I just started to work after a few years of learning to manage my symptoms. I thought I had a decent handle on things. I’m even working from home to make sure I can still elevate my legs and wear the necessary compression when needed. I’m only working 7 hours a day and I stay seated the whole time. But my heart rate has stayed elevated, even at rest. I had the flu 3 weeks before Christmas and my heart rate hasn’t come down below 120 at rest since. I’ve worked this job for 2.5 weeks and I got sick with nausea and vomiting. My question is, do any of you get physically ill when you’ve over done yourselves and if so, does it require you sleeping for a full day to feel even a tiny bit better? I still don’t feel well enough to work, but I need this job and I have to do it anyway. I don’t know what to do. Any suggestions?
