Fell and hit my head, heart rate won't go down - ER trip needed?

agree. Its the hit to the head with loss of consciousness that warrants ER. Pulse wise. No. For pulse, its almost completely about the impact it is having. For me: First time around , 30 years ago, it never went below 100-120bpm for 3 years. 171 bpm was my high at that time captured due to wearing a Holter monitor that day. This round, the last 3 years. I now have a loop recorder. They simply stopped telling me the high. I topped the 200bpm earlier this year. I do like that this round, it goes down when resting/reclining, but a bit too low for my comfort 50's. My point is, none of the docs were concerned with the numbers as long as between 50 and 180bpm. If it stays outside of that range then they will adjust my betablocker. It was the impact of the pulse that was important.

Thank you so much for the quick reply, I’m going to go. I know I need it, I get worried about them not knowing much about POTS but I need to advocate for myself anyways <3

agree with this comment, and my anxious ass wouldn't do it. Be better and go to ER
