Heart Rate Increase

[tonyrizz 0]

Hello, I'm almost 3 weeks post op and my resting heart rate (pulse) has been much higher Than before my surgery. Before surgery pulse was always about 80 now it seems to always be between 95-105 and thats at rest. I have been drinking plenty of Water so I don't think it is dehydration. I brought this up with my surgeon but he kinda brushed it off told me not to worry . Has anyone ever have this happen? and if yes did your heart rate eventually stabilize?

I understand that as we become more fit our resting heart rate drops. However, your elevated heart rate could be due to anything, including lingering effects of the surgery. If your doctor isn't worried about it, I wouldn't let it worry me either. Keep an eye on it, though. As you become more fit, it should drop back into your "normal" range.

I agree with Lissa. This is not something I would worry about but keep a close eye on it. Congrats on your journey.

Mine did the same thing for atleast 6 weeks it was about 90-115 and now almost 11 weeks out its back in the 70's. At first my dr thought I was dehydrated but I wasn't.
