What is a normal pulse rate ?
I'm a 35yr old man and I'm wondering whether I should be concerned about my pulse rate. It is consistently in the high 80's to mid 90's at rest. I'm a light smoker, about 10lbs overweight and have a terrible diet. I know I have to correct my diet, quit smoking and exercise more but is my pulse rate a concern in and of itself ? Thanks in advance.
Dear members/doctors,
I'm 15 years old, in great shape on the outside, and anyway.. for a few months I've done heavy exercise in my school for atleast 1-3 hours total at about 4 times a week. I also skateboard a few days a week for about 2-3 hours at about six days a week. I run in school as well. My pulse rate is often in the upper 80's and lower 90's still. To throw in an idea for the cause, my doctor said I have some kind of heart condition where when I breathe in it presses on my nerves and makes my heart-rate speed up and slow down (but he said is was non-serious and common for kids my age). Often it feels like my pulse is going too fast for someone sitting down, as my pulse other times resting is about upper 70's to lower 80's. I have mainly two questions. Why does my pulse rate change as it does? Why is my pulse rate still so high if I exercise and am athletic. I'm worried and will rest easier once someone helps me out with this. I can be reached via email at: ***@****. I would apreciate it if someone got back to me a.s.a.p.

I was diagnose with a very mild mitral and tricuspid insufficiency in 1994. My doctor told me not to worry as it
if very common in people over40. I am 55 years old and have notice my heart rate has gone up the last couple years from
78-80 to around 100-105. I walk two miles everyday and notice
getting outof breath easily. Should I worry about the high
heart beat.

I am concerned my 13yr old niece is taking cardio in gym her pulse rate at rest is around 100. She is 5'6" and about 180 pounds. Is this normal?
Your blood pressure is in the normal range. Your resting pulse is normal (under 100 is OK). Your pulse with standing and moving is a bit higher than normal.
No - that is still within the range considered normal.
