I have a skinny consin that has told me her's is 90 and she 55 years old.
My heart rate was caused by a blood clot going from right lower leg too my lungs and it caused my heart rate to go up to 144 beats a minute. The ER got my rate to drop to now 72. This is the first time this has happen with heart rate going up to 144. I've have now made it through three times of DVT and PE's in past 13 years.
When I was going through EMT training, the cardiologist that served as one of the instructors stated that the average heart rate for a male is 72 bpm and 80 bpm for a female.
When I had back surgery two years ago, my heart rate dropped to about 35 bpm and scared the daylights out of the surgery team. I guess they had never seen a 61 year old male in such good physical shape!
Upon waking, mine is anywhere from 58-67 bpm. Normal activity throughout the day, mine is around 72. Whenever I donate blood, it's right around 70-72 bpm. I'm beginning my 6th decade of life. Blood pressure is usually around 110/60.
My rate is all the time and I checked it at one time at night went down to 60 but goes back up a short time later. I need to cut out coffee, tea, soda pop. Does this medicine lower my heart rate? Metoprolol
Metaprolol is a beta blocker, and I am on a tiny dose (12.5 mg per day) to lower my heart rate. It worked for me, and I'll be taking it at least til we figure out why my heart rate went up. Used to be it was in the 60's in the morning and at rest, and suddenly it went into the 90's.
Does having a higher heart 'rate' mean anything? Mine has always been in the mid 90's to 110 - my doctor doesn't seem to think it's important .. but I was just curious ......

it can mean a variety of things. if you're a heavy drinker/smoker, then that explains it. if you drink an excessive amount of caffeine, you'll have a high resting HR. if you're stressed out, you'll have a higher resting. if you're dehydrated or have a thyroid problem it can also be elevated. you could also just be out of shape.
I was put in 2.5 bystolic and my heart rate is now 50. I was having tachycardia and my average hr was in the 80's to low 90's. I think 72 is high for being on a beta blocker but it's in the normal range.
