Has anyone noticed?
 Is there any relationship between height surgery and heart rate?

 My heart has been beating faster since the surgery
Heartbeat per minutes
 Before surgery:  55-65
 Three months after surgery: above 80
 Five months after surgery (now): above 70

 Does everyone’s heart rate increase after surgery?
 May increase with organization
 Or the legs grow and blood returns to the heart
 Put more load on the heart
 Is this a permanent increase?
 Or will it return to its original level after a year?

[I want 8,07 cm]

Is the bloodthinner the reason?

It depends what medication you are taking esp. painkillers.
It is better to check with your doctor for the cause.

I only took the painkiller tramadol one month after the surgery, and I didn't take any medicine after that. So it seems like only my heart rate increased, and no one else seemed to have it?

Go and check with your doctor and full body checkup if you are really worried.

I wouldn't worry about 80 beats per minute, 55 up to 75 is pretty normal.

If your body is under stress heart rate increases to optimize your chance of survival....breaking bones is definitely a form of stress as is the pain that goes with it. Your body naturally responds, it doesn't know you intentionally broke and put a man-made device in it to make it longer.

Blood thinner? Yeah, of course heart rate increases to keep proper oxygen rates and minerals through the brain etc. Same with blood pressure if it falls too far down heart rate increases to compensate in attempt to keep your body where it needs to be to survive.

Once your body is fully recovered you should return to normal. I wouldn't worry about it in the meantime unless it exceeds 90-100+ and/or you can feel the stress of it working hard in your chest especially when laying down.

Me personally, I had near-fatal exposure to mercury when I was 15 and have suffered major permanent nerve damage. My chest always beats so hard I can feel it 24/7 and my heart rate is always 100 to 120. If I walk on a treatmill even for 5 minutes it goes to around 180-200. I technically should drop dead at any point as they can't fix the nerve damage, but I'm still alive here at 35 years old so I survived 20 years so far.

So yeah, don't even worry about it totally normal and should not harm you.

Thank you brothers for your replies

Anecdotally, my overall heart rate went up after limb lengthening surgery. Not by a huge amount but there was definitely a small uptick and I could see it on my Oura ring heart rate tracker. Not sure if this is the norm for most people, however.

[asasball]

The same goes for me. How much does your heart rate increase approximately per minute? Mine is as shown above.

I'm curious whether the heart rate will drop back to its original state after recovery is complete.

This also can be partly due to inactivity and atrophy. Athletes have a lower resting heart rate
After 6 months of low activity and nearly no intensity, paired with probable weight gain would definitely raise it

I did 8 cm femur lengthening with the LON method. After the surgery, my heart beats faster for every action I do, smoking, walking, getting excited, eating, etc.

[Tovarish İlizarov]

The lengthening of the veins while stretching the legs may be disrupting the autonomic nervous system. I can no longer sleep as I used to, my sleep is constantly disturbed and I cannot sleep efficiently.As our leg lengthens, our veins lengthen and the elongated veins actually narrow. Maybe the increase in our heart rate may have something to do with this. I have been complaining about the increase in my heart rate for almost a year. It occurs especially in the morning after waking up from sleep. When I stand up, my pulse rate increases significantly.

[Tovarish İlizarov]

I'm sure I'm having palpitations because of the surgery, my heart is contracting and relaxing harder now.I have more palpitations, especially after waking up from sleep. Gentlemen, I think we may have shortened our lives a little with this surgery.For about a year after surgery, I seriously worried about my heart rate and saw 2 or 3 cardiologists, none of whom could find any meaning.

[Tovarish İlizarov]

I think the main reason for our palpitations is the nervous tension that occurs as our legs grow longer, our nervous system has become very sensitive. Another possibility may be that it occurs due to the lengthening and narrowing of the veins, I have seen these complaints in 5-6 other people on the forum, I definitely want you to know this, gentlemen! This is definitely not a coincidence

Thank you for your reply. I think there should be some correlation between heart rate and limb lengthening. I also found the discussion on the forum for your reference.
