Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

How high are you talking here?
A little bump isn't anything unusual, it's the blood sugar spiking, then hormones kicking in as the cycle adjusts. But that's not what I'd call "racing". Hell, it very often isn't even an actual increase to pulse as much as it is an awareness of one's heartbeat.
But if you're jumping up more than, say, ten beats a minute for more than maybe five minutes, bring it up to your doctor, make sure everything is fine. Could just be that we have different usages of racing, but if that's not the case, it can be a sign of something out of whack. What I've run into with my patients back in the day was either incipient diabetes, or the early stages of heart disease. But, again, that's if the spike in pulse is more than maybe ten extra a minute, or lasts longer than what a jump scare can cause
It's one of those things where if it is a sign of something starting to get wonky, starting is the key word. Treating things early means treatment is easier and has higher success rates, sooner.
