Yup my heart rate was pretty high after my recent booster which sort of makes sense when your body is having an immune response

My heart rate felt a little elevated when I had COVID. But also, thinking about if COVID is fucking with my heart gives me anxiety which causes my heart to race which makes me think COVID could be fucking with it which makes it go faster… and repeat. I’m not sure the watch would work very well for me lol

I had a Fitbit. This was my exact problem. I thought my heart rate was high, which made me worry about my heart rate, which made my heart rate go up, which made me worry etc.

I got rid of it in the end. I was getting proper panic attacks over it.

My heart rate went to 130 while i was bedridden for days with covid. Covid was the worst sickness I've ever had. Fever went to 104, I couldn't breathe, my body hurt agonizingly all over. It felt like the pain was in my bones. I wanted to die.

And I've been sick on and off ever since. It's like it's never fully went away.

Aww so sorry to hear that. I hope your body builds up it’s forces soon.

We’re you vaxxed or was it like pre-vaccines?

I had the first shot but not the boosters. It probably would've been worse if I hadn't had the one shot.

Yea there’s definitely some anxiety that can come into play with it which can make everything elevate but if you just wear and don’t look it at it you can get some pretty normal readings
