This is a side note to your insightful comment, but is your heart rate 100 at rest, or is 100 the normal number you see under the elevated stress of seeing a doctor? I ask because 100 resting heart rate is really not healthy for most people. Diet and exercise can really bring it down for you. Mine used to be 95 at rest. Today is in the low 60s and dropping over over time thanks to a restricted diet and moderate exercise (5h a week). I don't know your individual situation and hope you didn't find my comment to be inopportune unsolicited advice.

Just at the doctor, I have a heart monitor for when I stream games for friends to see when I become the most stressed. When I pay attention I normally rest at around 70-85.

I absolutely appreciate the insight and comment. I had feared that the time I saw 120 twice in a row at a doctors visit, so I started measuring it at home.
