Resting Pulse Rate by Age

Answer 1

My resting bum was always in the 60s.  I haven't been working out steadily at all for about a year.  I just had a partial fusion of the spine two months ago. My resting bum is in the 80's.  It never was that high.  When I got on the elliptical it soared to 120.  Is that okay? Will more exercise help?  I am 58.

Mrs. Yarbrough, 60-100 beats per minute at rest is a normal range. If you can have 70+- beats that's the ideal.

Answer 5

I am 70 yrs old pulse rate 95.  My blood pressure a month ago ranged from 175 to 285.  Yes 285!  I was kinda tired when it reached the 200's.  Anyway, I started walking 25 minutes a day briskly almost like a power walk, and my blood pressure is now 140.  I suggest that exercising even walking briskly helps immensely as you can see.  Thank God.  It is easy and no cost.  Just get your tennies on and walk but walk fast.  Thanks for this forum enjoy reading the comments.

I'm a 30 yr. old female, I have been getting really dizzy, and vision goes black after standing up, and my heart rate at resting has been getting up to 124 bpm. Occasionally, I think I may be having chest pains, but then again I don't want to assume something that serious, if it's just indigestion or something along those lines.. any advice is welcomed.

Answer 8

My heart rate stays in the 46 to 51 range.... I am not an exercise person.. and I find I tire easy... sometimes get light headed coming up a flight of stairs.... and get a fluttery feeling sometimes.... I recently bought a fitbit and during a flutter it told me to stop and breath.... is this a sign of a heart condition?

Comments

Yes, it's a sign of a heart condition, but not necessarily a serious one. When people age it happens. Take an EKG first.

Answer 9

I am 85 yrs old, battling lung cancer. The tumor is blocking & not getting rid of fluid. Am getting fluid drained . What I need to know is, at rest what is the normal pulse. Some exertion? What is too high? Thank you. Please answer

Comments

Hi Mrs. Gardne, the normal pulse at rest is 60-100, if it exceeds 100, it's considered too high and may cause discomfort to you.Please let your dr. know if your pulse goes out of the range.

---

People battling lung cancer can have higher pulse due to difficulty breathing or pain, there's no guideline on the pulse. Generally around 100 is acceptable, if it goes 110-130 you have to talk to your doctor, medication depends on your heart/lung/liver condition.

Hello, normal blood pressure is systolic blood pressure 90-120, diastolic blood pressure is 60-90. The heart rate is normally 60-100. Your condition is within the normal range, and your forearm should be kept at the same height as your heart when measuring your blood pressure. no need to worry. Wishing you always healthy.
