Q: I'm 20/f, and I dunno if it's like, a hormonal issue (that time of month...), that I'm becoming anemic, or something, but since I ran a mile today, my heart rate has been randomly speeding up and slowing down.
It feels like I'm constantly nervous about something, but there's nothing to be nervous about.
My heartbeat wasn't erratic in any way during my run, it was steady as it always is. I started feeling odd before work, and actually calculated my pulse as 102 bpm a couple of times, which is ridiculously high for me. Normally, it's 78 or so.
I was standing in place when I did the calculation.
Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but my left leg has been killing me for the past two days, somewhere in or around my hip. I had a stress fracture, but I think it's okay now, which is why I went running.
But this whole heartbeat thing is really freaking me out. I know, "stop freaking out, because when you freak out, your heart rate goes up." Got that covered. What could be causing this?
I know no one's a doctor, I'm just looking for nonmedical ideas, unless you think it could be a medical problem. Has anyone had experience with something like this, or...?
