    110-113


    Ummmm, that's tachycardia. Not resting. Well, maybe if you are a fetus....

    Umm, that is actually my resting heart rate. It has been since I was 10 years old following a virus that infected my heart. I also have a heart murmur, and no, I am not a fetus. When I exercise it peaks at about 189.

    48 but it drops to 36 when i'm literally resting.. (as in lying in bed)

    Also.. I can get my rate up when working out hard.. but as soon as I stop.. I mean right away it drops way down again..

    My mom has bradycardia too since her 30s.. and she's obese.. about the same bpm as I do.

    Not to pry.. and you don't have to tell me obviously.. but have you been checked for aortic stenosis? That's a narrowing of the aorta and it can get very bad as you age. A heart murmur is often a sign of it.

    80-110. I have tachycardia though. Always have had a higher heart rate than normal.

    Are you measuring this with a HRM or only counting your heartbeats?

    I am not sure if I have been tested for that. I went through a lot of tests about 2 years ago, monitored heart while sleeping/ekg, etc. and the end result was there was nothing of concern. I do monitor it at home and go for check ups every 6 months. I will ask my doctor about it though - thank you.
