So I went for my annual check-up today. We chatted about general things and then I off-hand mentioned that my heart rate is at 175 bpm average on runs lately. Oh, and my arm was tingling.
She didn't think that was very healthy.
So I got my first EKG!
Long Story Short: My heart is fine (small murmur, but she said that's normal for women). Doc thinks its medicine-related, the combo of the Advair and Albuterol, but mostly the Advair. So I'm switching to a new long-acting inhaler for le asthma. If it doesn't get better in a week, I have a referral to a cardiologist to get an echocardiogram.
Hope I don't need it. Meh.
Now, off to go run. We'll see how that goes.

Welp, it may not be the medicine.
I took only my albuterol and WHEEEE my heartrate was high. So maybe it's the albuterol, not the advair.
Since I should have been doing this from the get-go, but I'm too lazy to turn on my mac mini more than once a month (that's why I have an iPad y'all), here's my Garmin info:
