What could cause heart rate to increase while bending over?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Heart rate: regulation of heart rate is very complex, minor change in the normal range is not a problem, bending over may change your blood pressure that in turn may affect heart rate

Do not worry: Changes in heart rate are actually quite common just as part of the physiologic adjustment to changes in position. If one is on certain medications or deconditioned, these may be more marked. Generally, in the absence of symptoms, these are things not to be worried about.
