I've been pretty scared this past week at my high heartrate, most specifically my inability to make sense of it.
<p>
I'm pulling low to high 90's (bpm beats-per-minute) resting heartrate. This is even if taken first thing in the morning, before a cigarette.
<p>
I'm a light smoker, but considering i train endurance there is still no way my bpm should be 90's right?!?
<p>
I'm very scared that a past addiction may have caused this - I was on oxy for about 2-2.5years, and insufflation was 99% of how i took them. I probably did 2-5 pills (30mg "roxies") daily over this period. I've been off for well over a year, but upon finding my heart rate so high, and looking back at the heaps of powder i put up my nose, i'm sooooo scared that i've got permanent damage going on here.

help plz :|
 
I would see a doctor or a medical professional about this. You won't get in trouble if you tell them about your past or current drug use.

It's always possible it could be anxiety, or related to smoking tobacco.
 
no health insurance, so really don't wanna see a pro until i get a better grasp on it myself (and no worries on troubles, my oxy was scripted ;PP unless you can get in trouble for violating prescribed method.administration)

i think i can rule out tobacco, as the effects on bpm are right after cigs (doesn't seem that there's much of a long-term increase from cigs but i may be misinterpreting what i've read)

can absolutely rule out anxiety, as i got and then got-rid-of some nasty chronic/generalized anxiety some years back

THIS.

We cannot diagnose you over the Internet. We cannot see you to examine you for a start, but we also do not have accurate medical records, or the correct knowledge on how to treat and diagnose you.

Please see a professional.
