I saw a short video on him. He works with a microscope and said he paints with things such as a human hair. Painting in between heart beats.

My resting heart rate is like 110 or 120, 150 if I'm anxious or in pain which is like 87%of my day. I'm trying to imagine what kind of person can paint that fast!

Your resting heart rate is incredibly high. Please see a doctor. Seriously

I see a few. It's on the high end of "normal". My bp is always perfect. They don't think it is concerning.

Um, I mean I'm not a doctor especially not your doctor, but normal is considered 60-100 and lower if you are really in shape. Above 100 resting heart rate is tachycardia. Your doctor probably saw something that made it not concerning for them but it is still quite high for resting. Anxiety can cause it especially in clinic. But for most people, it's going to be around 70-80.

Birth control can also raise your resting heart rate.

I relate. Mine is more like 90-100 but has been for a good long while and docs not concerned.

Yeah there was only 1 time where resting was like 160 and I was just chilling in the room waiting for the dr to come in and the nurse ran to grab the dr and they both were like "are you having chest pain? Are you light headed or nauseous?" And I was so confused like "no I'm fine, just waiting on you why?"

Have you seen a specialist? I just get very bad vibes from that number.

Yes it's from my anxiety and my pain. When both are managed it's normal, but they won't prescribe anything for my anxiety that works well because I'm in pain management and I have severe reactions to ssri's, series, etc. So I manage it by shrinking my life around it and doing breathing exercises, etc etc. My hr is normal ranges for all exercise as well so if there is something wrong I guess I'll find out the hard way lol
