What is a normal pulse rate ?

[William]

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.

I am also and 18 yr old (female).  I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse and COSTOCHRONDRITIS.  Costochrondritis is a very annoying pain, I get it especially when I am driving because I use my left hand over the wheel and it pulls on my chest, then it gets all inflamed and all that good stuff.  My Mitral Valve Prolapse only really causes palpitations but the costo is painful.  My doc told me to take Advil 3 times a day for 10 days straight, is that all it takes, Advil...?
Thanks soooo much...

I am a 40 year old diabetic woman who just underwent a series of test for chest pains.  I was told I have small vessel coronary disease and dysautonomia.  My blood pressure is usually around 120/88 and my pulse is usually 107+.  Yesterday at rest my pulse rate was 118.  Is this someting to be concerned about?
