Does standing up or laying down affect a person’s heart rate over a ten minute period?  How would be nice...

Laying down will definitely afect a persons heart rate in most normal circumstances...at rest, the heart rate slows.  Do a google search on sympathetic versus parasympatheic nervous system responses

“We” can be in one position for more than 15 minutes. Maybe you can’t, but that doesn’t mean that other people can not. The average soldier for example spends more than 15 minutes standing to attention every day on average.\n\n\nThe reason you “feel as though ur circulation is slowing” is because blood requires muscles contractions to find it way back to the heart. If you sit still you are not using your muscles and as a result the blood pools in the extremities.\n\nYour inability to keep your arm up straight is a totally unrelated phenomenon. Your arm hangs DOWN when at rest. To keep it up requires you to use the muscles in the arm and shoulder. Your arm gets tired simply because you lack the muscles required to keep it there. It is quite simple to develop the muscles to allow you to hold your arm up for hours at a time if you wish, and most house painters do just that. You lack those muscles, so your arm gets tired.\n\nIf you find yourself unable to remain in one position for more than 30 minutes without developing a cramp you  should see your doctor. That’s a string indication of a circulatory problem or anionic imbalance. Any normal young person should be bale to remain in one position for far longer than that without effort if they are sitting or reclining.  It may not be comfortable but you should definitely not be getting cramps.

You might be working out above your ideal heart rate. Get a monitor and figure out what your ideal one should be and try to stay around that.

If what you were wearing was a holter monitor, No!\nIn the 24 hours that you wear this, something must appear in the reading as abnormal. If nothing showed up as abnormal, and you're  still concerned, you should let your Cardiologist know that you are still uncomfortabe with the results.Obviously, no one could tell you that your palpitations are benign, in that there could be a few things going on. But, palpitations are very common in all of us. You can't relate these with 'major heart problems', as you ask. Major heart problems are in a different class. In the 24 hours that you wore this monitor, an event had to take place in this time. What are the chances of this, again, no one really knows.You can't expect even an educated guess here. What you're experiencing cannot go any further in a forum like this. The question is obtuse and requires your presense, your medical history, and your current symptoms.\n\nEssentially, you need to speak to your doc. Further, please don't ASK or ANSWER medical questions online. You will find, as you already have, that you'll get answers from laymen who think they know what they're talking about and being a layman yourself, you may mistakably take their advise. In this, you could be asking for big problems. I would be happy to answer questions you may have in giving you medical direction. Feel free to contact me. \n\nGrizz\n\nP.S. If you(audience) are not educated in this field, DO NOT answer medical questions in this forum. If you do, you are far from realizing that you may be putting people in danger. This is not the place for opinion, or personal experience regardless of your SINCERE intentions.

no it doesn't. if your heart rate is fast went you're not exercising then you are out of shape. heart rate is all about how physically fit you are. not gender.

Gravity!  the heart works harder to pump blood when you are standing!

yes.\nIf you get your heart rate elevated.

It's called orthostatic hypertension. When you stand up too fast your bp drops too low causing you to black out or feel faint. Try standing up slowly and see if that helps. Make sure you tell your doctor this is happening because there may be an underlying cause that is treatable.

less respiration ocurring and less exsercise and stuff should decrease it and also it depends how in shape the person is so it would take less pumps of the heart to make the blood flow. So if a marathon runner was currently asleep the heart rate would be low compared to a 5-time pie eating contest winner that was over weight and just ran a mile.

I hate the lay down beds as well. I always use the stand up ones and I seem to tan evenly all over and there is no turning invloved, just stand there and get tannned all over. I also like the fact that you arn't laying where someone else was just minutes before you.

Your heartrate will slow down as you keep holding your breath. Once you start breathing again, it will increase to above normal for a while and then settle back to normal.\n\n(Assuming you are not exerting additional force, such as swimming underwater)

Does music affect a persons heartrate? It got me an A. U have to come up with ur hypothesis which is the question.Then to start it I got some subjects (ex friends family)i took their heartrate before i let them listen to music, they listened to music for an amount of time(forgot how long sorry)then i measured their heartrate after(if u want you can get one of those little wrist heart monitors)but i did it this way. if ya nedd more info e-mail me.

Test your pulse rate while standing see how fast it is if it's greatly different to sitting then maybe\n\nif your veins on your arms standout at sometimes for no reason (ie. exercise) and stay that way for a period of time maybe.\n\nIf your diet contains a lot of salt (ready meals contain lots) then maybe\n\nThis is begining to sound like a Jeff Foxworthy are you a redneck joke :)\n\nWhat ever it is with your symptons I should go see a doctor\nor try searchin online for a symptom web site if you don't have the time... but if it leads to anything you're gonna have to go to doctors eventually... sooner is better

I think it is not possible. This can be proven by what the body needs to achieve 'standing up':\n\nThe first thing is that it requires muscle tone and balance, which is controlled by the brain. \n\nStanding up also depends on the muscle fibers, of course.If the myocytes are dead, then it is not even possible for someone alive to stand since the muscles will not respond to the signals sent by the brain.\n\nMuscle tone requires energy. Thus the circulatory system and (hence) the respiratory system must also be intact. However, these 2 systems require control from the brain as well. \n\nFrom these you can see that this simple action requires the coordination of several systems: the nervous system, respiratory system and circulatory system. Sadly, when a person dies, one or more of the abovementioned systems must be damaged. Hence it is not possible to stand when already dead.

Anything that raises your heart rate for at least 20 minutes at a time will help you lose weight.  \n\nSome types of yoga won't raise your heart rate, but you'll feel the benefits of a calmer mind, and increased flexibility.\n\nVinyasa flow yoga is a type that does raise my heart rate, and I'm sweating the whole time.  It's definitely a work out as well as relaxing!  Check out a class or two, see if it works for you.\n\nNamaste!

There are certainly functions that can be controlled by thinking about them. Breathing is easy to slow down or speed up. I've slow my heart rate by concentrating, probably because I put myself in a more restful state. There are people that can hold their breath for 5+ minutes. I haven't heard about white cell count, but I remember hearing about changing body heat by concentration. The brain is a marvelous place that controls all systems of the body unconsciously, the fact that we also use it to think indicates that the brain can be trained to control body systems consciously.

I'm not sure about while they are standing, I wouldn't want someone who is dyspneic to be standing. sitting, it is easier to breathe while you are leaning forward a bit, with elbows or hands on knee's. If they cannot finish a sentence without tring to catch their breath, I'd be calling an ambulance!
