ChrisComedy's Journal, 01 January 2015

Recently had a battery of tests at a hospital ER because of growing concern over my weakness. Lying on the gurney, I looked at my BPM on the SmartHealth watch and it was the lowest I had ever seen: 60. Typically while doing stand-up comedy, over 100. Go figure...

In a relaxed state, no stressors or physical exertion. Normal. If you're up you're being physical, your heart is pumping like mad, knowing you've got to pull it off and make people laugh. Add stress. Your bpm is fine. We take our bp daily, particularly me because of the stroke. I've had my bpm in the 50's while relaxed. Want to make yourself even crazier, take your bp with your legs up as in a recliner then do it with them down. You'll see a difference.

I can see it going up in front of an audience. Changes all the time depending on what you are doing. It goes up with exercise. My doc had me keeping track every 2 hours a couple years ago, as mine was high in her office. Luckily no high bp problem but all breathing/asthma related, it goes up with breathing Issues. It's now controlled with asthma meds that are working.

This time last year my bpm was usually over 100. The last time I had a check up it as in the mid 60s. Sounds good to me!

Deleted the first spam I have ever seen on FatSecret. Hope it's the last.

The one about the Audi? I used to contact FS and they did it.

that is wonderful rate... Mine is still a bit higher than I would like.. The more I loose and work out the lower it is getting

I would think lying on an ER gurney, getting tested for mystery malady would be more stressful than stand-up comedy. Guess not.

Oops didn't see that one, I report them when I see them.
