A member asked:
Why so much difference in hr while sitting and standing?sitting resting hr 56-60. standing 67-70. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal physiology: The heart has to work harder to pump more blood upward against gravity. Also more muscles are at work when standing, needing increased blood flow. This is a normal physiologic response, and this amount of change is pretty small and entirely healthy. No worries.
