I have this digital blood pressure device that not only checks your blood pressure but your heart rate as well. It's pretty good since I use it a lot.
Ok... My blood pressure is fine (a little low but healthy) but my heart rate is 147.... I took it several times to see if there was a problem but it stayed in the 140-150 range. This is really really scary... since the avrage when resting is suppose to be betweeen 70-100....
Keep your fingers crossed and pray cause I ain't going to no doctor.... I know it's stupid but still...
Ok... I'm going to look for over-the-counter pill thingys that I have in the bathroom....

Hey Qix, hope you're okay, bro...
Have you tried to check your heartbeat yourself by taking your own pulse to confirm the reading? ( http://www.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/hw201445.asp?printing=true)
Did you have lots of alcohol last night or today? That can thin the blood and cause rapid heart beats, I hear. (e.g., a form of alcohol poisoning. A side note warning to everyone at the Sector -- don't binge drink! You can kill yourself.) If it continues, you should really think about going to a doctor to get it checked out. They can do an EKG while it's happening and do blood tests. I'm no doctor, but a nurse once told me they consider 200 beats-per-minute to be an emergency situation, not 100 or 150 so much. Seemed weird to me, since we would all think that anything like 100 or 150 BPM is high (if you're not exercising), but as far as emergencies go, I guess 200 is more cause for alarm. But if you have that high of heart beat for too long, that really can't be good.
Err on the safe side, m'friend, for your health ~

Traahn,
Thank you so much for that information. That really helped me to relax a lot. You don't know how greatful for your reply.
I did drink a little last night, but I have never binge drank before... however, that is a really really good message to eveyone who reads it. Never binge drink... ever.... it can be fatal...
I do have to say that I came up with a really really stupid idea... but it worked.... I drank two beers shortly after I made that post (siped more like it) and my heart rate is now down to 95 beats per min... 100 is normal for me since I'm a slim fellow.
I'm not sure as to what caused this reaction... I didn't drink a whole lot last night... and I never drink quick.... I only stick to beer but it could be that I do drink rather often. Maybe I should talk to someone... Maybe somehow I'm starting to devlope a problem...
Well... I'm done with it unless something else happens today, then I'll see a doctor...
I don't like doctors... more of a strange phobia, but I so freak out in hospitals.... the same way a person would if they were drowning...
Thanks again, buddy... I hope I can return the favor someday...

No problem. I hope you can get over your phobia for hospitals. They're only there to try and help ...
If it comes back again, I agree you should go to the doc and get it checked out. The heart is a serious matter.
I've heard a cardiologist can attach a heart rhythm meter to you that you walk around with for a week or so. It can record when you have the problem for them to later review and diagnose. I've only heard about them. I think they're inconspicuous and don't hurt to wear. Just a thought. It might be something your regular doctor eventually recommends you do...
Welp, that's my doctor talk for the day  I want you to do what's good for you. So stay well, Qix!
As for alcohol poisoning and binge drinking, I hope everyone at the Sector does a couple Google searches to check it out. Might save a life. There were some things I didn't know about alcohol poisoning up until a few months ago when i did some searches...abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Thanks again Traahn...
My brother had that done with the heat monitor once because his heart rate was rather high too... It turned out that he was ok, but since it's in his medical record... he is having problems finding medical insurance.
But still... that is good advice.... Thanks man...order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Thanks again for your concern, Tori...

Thanks Sketch.
I get really nervos when something like this happens because I'm really ignorant with the medical stuff.
I'm now worried about my Mom. She's 65 and has high blood pressure. She's been really sick today for some reason.... When it rains, it pours.
But shes a tuff lady.

I had to force both my parents to take pills everyday to lower there blood pressure.
When I go to school I make sure they take their pills over the phone.
I finally got both of them into a brain wash pill taking routine.

My mom never had problems taking her pills, but my Dad always did. He doesn't have high blood pressure but he did have some prostate issues. They gave him pills for that and I had to make sure he took them.
He's now taking on his own.
He's always had good health other than that and he is 67. I hope that I got those geans.....abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

The whole reason that my dad is taking his pills is because my birth-grandfather (if that makes sense) was stupid and didn't take his pills and died at forty-something of a stroke. He was also a chain smoker...but...in my mind, that was the reason for the blood-pressure dealy.
My dad, however, hasn't smoked (Well...he did, but it was waaayy before I was born) and ate healthily (Because we're a vegitarian family) and the only thing he didn't really do much was excersize. He's been doing that along with taking his pills, and I'm pretty proud of him.
