Its been a long time since I have posted and have been pretty darn good really. I try to cycle to work and back as often as I can and walk too. Over the last 12 months other health issues have reared up. I now have high blood pressure which was picked up incidentally at a routine heart health check we do each year at the hospital I work (I work in cardiology lol). So after some initial up and down and adjusting it is under control.
I made the switch from Gillenya to Aubigero early this year and have noticed that my heart rate is significantly higher most of the time as appose to occasionally before. I actually took home a holter from work last saturday which I wore overnight (it is more noticeable to me at night), it showed my average heart rate over night was 92, but was between 77 and 121. I then wore one in the day and it gave me an average heart rate of 99 bpm and I made a conscious effort not to do anything to vigorous apart walking 50 meters every so often to take stuff to the labs, this was so I could get more of a resting heart rate average. Now whilst this is not considered to be very high I think that for someone who is reasonably fit and active its a little on the high side which my colleagues agree with. I am scheduled to see a cardiologist in a couple of weeks.
My question is, does anyone else suffer with a rapid heart rate without obvious reason. Or has anyone come off of Gilenya and as this reduces your heart rate would be not unreasonable to think the opposite might happen on stopping. I have been off it for about 4 months.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
