But not always. Mine can go up to least 160 bpm and I really wouldn't know without checking it.
Is yours more hormone or hormone medication related?

Other than getting vaccinated, many people seem to largely ignore this pandemic. A mate is doing a two week stunt paragliding course in France, learning to engage in this sort of lunacy:

I don't think so but cannot be sure.
Had you been diagnosed with a heart problem previously, which may or may not be exacerbated by the hormone medication? Or has tachycardia started happening since commencing your hormone medication regime? Worth getting some tests done, I would have thought.

I just got dismissed shortly after diagnosis. So, certainly in current situation, no chance.

I think I have had a heart which can ramp up bpm forever. But it is a bit unstable in that it can switch between tachy and ordinary levels and back, repeatedly, in what seems like no time at all. Literally, between refreshes on an ECG display.

If you've had it forever and there's no pain, maybe heart tissue isn't tearing itself up through oxygen starvation and dying? Maybe chat to a Doc between wave peaks? I've got a hospital appointment on Tuesday, which I might rescedule till Omicron infection levels lower.

Could it be blood sugar related? Are you diabetic? Or pre-diabetic? I was prediabetic before weight loss, and still might be. I've very occasionally noticed a very fast heart BPM after very heavy meals; painless, lasted about a minute, which I think was/is blood sugar related.

No signs of diabetes, prediabetes, h1a1bc or whatever.

Probably not ideal to discuss on the brexit thread?

Judging by past posts on the Brexit thread, a dicky heart thread might have much more interaction from more pedelecers, than just us two.

[Should I Just Get Omicron Over With?]
I think it's a risky tactic compared to a fourth jab.
Most people in our age group tend to have some frailty, violent or persistent coughing associated with covid may cause damage.

Tachycardia.. can be very distressing
But not always. Mine can go up to least 160 bpm and I really wouldn't know without checking it.
I wish mine was like Oyster's, mine is sometimes extremely painful with a migraine like headache when the blood pressures are up as well. When the tachycardia rate is slower in the 120 to 150 region with lower pressures like the 80/53 last night I just have a persistent sick feeling.

My history with this and many other heart troubles dates from early 2007 at 71 years old.

My list of record heart readings:

Highest pressure 15/3/20 : 201/82 with pulse rate 60

Lowest pressure 12/1/21 : 55/46 with pulse rate 119

Lowest pulse pressure 9/9/18 : 4 mg, BP 63/59 with pulse rate 71

Longest lasting tachycardia event 23 hours from noon one day in 2015 to just before 11 am the following day at high 120s.

Highest tachycardia rate had to be an estimate since the monitor couldn't read it. It wasn't a pulse beat, just an extremely rapid almost undetectable fluttering at over 200 rate and my being as weak as kitten.

I'm sick of it all in more ways than one.

his model [Philip Thomas] expects the hospitalisations to peak today (06-Jan, 3864).
I reckon that is too soon and too high any way.
There are factors like the cold weather and public transport.
I reckon hospitalisations will peak around 20-Jan and around 2,700.
