I did multiple ECG & Echo all normal. Along with a blood test measuring stress on the heart which cane back perfect. We can not explainthe tachycardia. My resting bp is high 70s & standing walking around house is low 100s. Its not off charts but shoulf be lower what could it be?
Brief Answer:
Your BP and HR are within norm, follow my advice to control HR on walking..
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
It's a good thing that ECG Echo and stress test were all normal, but I would suggest to do also Holter and BP monitoring (to monitor cardiac rhythm and BP).
From what you are saying your BP (it should be below 140/90 mmHg) and HR (it should be between 60-100 bpm) are normal.
The fact that the HR is around 100 bpm when you are walking show that you have a low exercise capacity and all the efforts should be make to increase it.
My advice to lower your HR are as follows:
- Avoid drinking alchohol, cafe or energy drink.
- Stop smoking or avoid passive smoking.
- Reduce salt intake.
- Take electrolyte supplements reach in potassium and magnesium(like multicentrum).
- Increase physical activities (avoid sedentary life). Start by walking 30 minutes a day every day.
Hope this will be of help!

Ok. It also happens when I wake up. I wake up to pounding heart usually 90bpm for no obvious reason & feel out of it in am
Brief Answer:
This is caused by morning adrenaline peak release.
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
What happens to you is normal due to adrenaline peak secretion in the early hours of the morning. This is a physiological findings and help the human body to wake up and be ready for day activities.
As long as the HR is below 100bpm you shouldn't worry. However my opinion is to follow the above suggestions.
