My resting heart rate normally varies between 70 to 85 beats per minute acc to my fitness band. However, when my anxiety level goes up the same fitness band shows resting heart rate at 140 to 150 bpm. However, when the anxiety comes down after few minutes resting heart rate come down to 90 to 100 bpm or even lower. Should I be worried or not? I don't have any other complications along with this fluctuating heart beat which happens due to anxiety. I suffer from hypothyroidism. I take eltroxin 50 for that.

Dear lybrate-user. During the anxiety body parameters in the form of blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate increases. Also one may notice palpitation, sweating, tremor and dry mouth. You can practice deep breathing exercises ans relaxation technique when you feel anxious. Continue taking you eltroxin, and if your anxiety level increases further book an appointment for its treatment. Take care.

No there is no problem. But one thing I want to advice, don’t use such fitness bands. They are not good. Rest depends upon you.

No need to worry about the heart-rates; those are fine for your age. Two things you need to be cautious about. Firstly, check your thyroid function (if not already done) to see if the dose of eltroxin is justified. Second, if these episodes of anxiety are frequent, for no apparent reason, and excessive - seek consultation with a psychiatrist to get evaluated for anxiety disorder.
