What is the normal heartbeat.

Sally949 "Is 5400 in 24hrs high"  if you take that 5,400/24 hrs; divide that by 24 hours=[225] then take that number divided by 60 minutes equals [3.75] extra per minute he is having. [I think I did that correctly?]

I'm certainly not an expert and just started learning about this craziness that goes on in my chest. but my EP told me the "normal abnormal" is between 6,000 - 8,000 extra beats in a 24 hr period.

Talk about a shock, I knew something was going on with me, but finding out I have 54,000 EXTRA beats in a 24 hr period; just floors me; it's been this way 6 months - 1 year that I am aware of.

54,000/24 hrs = [2250 per hour]/60 min = [37.5] extra beats per minute for me
Every 3rd beat of mine is a PVC which are bigeminy's, makes me tired just thinking of my poor overworked heart.

There are many on here and other sites that I've seen who have 20,000 and the drs tell them in a "normally structural" heart with no damage this is ok unless it continues.

I'm having a sleep study to see if some of my problem is related to sleep apnea, my cardiologist also referred me to a neurologist because I have soooo many extra beats with no cause or damage.  


This discussion is related to Feeling heart beats.

what about a thread that we do that gives what are our "stats" and what we've been told is normal? when I first started reading that's how I found out about my heart - looking for what was "normal"

I know the normal heart rate is 100,000/24 hrs and my EP said the "normal abnormal" is 6,000 - 8,000 over that....anyone else?

24/hr holter - 54,000 extra beats - PVC/Bigeminy
54,000/24 hrs = [2250 per hour]/60 min = [37.5] extra beats per minute for me
