A member asked:
Does holding the bladder (to pee) for longer causes fast heart rate?

Stress and Pain: can cause heart rate and blood pressure to rise. If possible, empty your bladder when nature calls, when you feel the need. Peace and good health.

Yes. : Holding our urine is a function of the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) nervous system. The hormones of that branch of the nervous system can also raise the heart rate. And blood pressure. And breathing rate.

No health problems. Frequent peeing, dehydration, rapid heart rate, stress, weakness. Could stress and anxiety cause dehydration? I've had 4 ivs.
I took Adderall 25mg and my heart rate is higher than usual but not by much but also I sometimes feel dizzy and really week for a brief moment like I'm going to faint. and I know I'm not dehydrated cause my pee is clear. my mom thinks its nothing?
