What if your pulse sitting down is 85 when you stand goes to 120 make weak for days?

If your pulse sitting down is 85 you have problems. If your pulse goes to 120 when you stand, you have worse problems. If you are weak for days, you have even worse problems. It may be your heart, your arteries, your lungs, or something else. Still, something is wrong.


When you are standing on your head the blood goes to your head so when you are standing up straight why doesn't the blood go to your feet?

Your heart pumps blood to all organs in your body. when you stand upright blood will be pumped to your feet with much less effort than standing on your head. When you are under normal gravitational force, even though gravity has an effect on blood flow, your blood circulation is totally controlled by your heart. So when you stand on your head blood will also be pumped to your feet.

When you stand up after lying down why does your heart rate and breathing rate increase?

When you stand up after lying down, your body experiences a sudden change in position that can lead to a temporary drop in blood pressure. In response, the autonomic nervous system triggers an increase in heart rate and breathing rate to maintain adequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. This physiological response helps to prevent dizziness or fainting and ensures that oxygen delivery to tissues remains stable during the transition.
