What's Your Resting Heart Rate?

[Blackxeas]

If you're laying in bed, take your pulse for 60 seconds. I'm interested in knowing your beat per minute.

That was me a few months ago! I'd say it's time to see the doctor. Atrial Fibulation isn't scary serious but it's also not something you should just let go. A 24 hour monitor showed my heart rate jumping from "stopped" to over 200 beats per minute. So, the cardiologist did what's called a cardioversion and "jump started" or reset my heart. Now, with a new Rx added to my daily quota of blood pressure meds, my heart rate is nice and steady between 55-60 beats per minute.

yikes. did you know that if you are taking omega 3--an essential nutrient that should come naturally in your protein--that you cannot take blood thinners? Your heart is supposed to have some variability (tho 0-200 is extreme), and there are like 1000 things that you might rather do than Rx and doctors, imo.

Technically, a "resting heart" would have a rate of 0.
