I had to go get my HRM on to see. Sitting on the couch quietly, it's down to 41.0

Usually mid 40s0

LOL - I had surgery in November and the monitors kept going off because my hr was lower than their machines liked. The nurse said I had the hr of an athlete. I'm no athlete but I have been working my butt off

That's awesome! Glad you're doing good!0 -
typically 42-45 bpm0

and here I was worried that mine last night at 43 was too low.1

590

As long as you don't have Afib, and your body can handle it, you should be OK. My husband always had a very low HR but it started to go way to low and an ECG determined that he was on Afib all the time. He dipped to the 30s, ended in the ER, and three days later he was the proud owner of a pacemaker.
The cardiologist said that having a constant low HR is not necessarily a sign of fitness, specially as we age. Genetics also seems to have a saying in how low our heart beats in the resting stage with or without exercise.

When I started this journey in feburary my resting heart rate was between 90 and 95...... now it's between 65 and 69.... improvement for sure.9

Mid to low 50s, usually, if I'm completely relaxed.
And low heart rate can be good or bad depending on why it's low. If you have a conduction block in your heart, a low heart rate is bad. If you have done a lot of cardiovascular exercise and have a low heart rate because you have a very strong heart with a high stroke volume, it's good.4 -
33bpm. Distance runner. 70mi/wk.3

^ Agree. (swim/bike/run workouts, 9-12hrs per week, led to my low HR.)1 -
Two months ago, it was pushing 90. Now that I've been at it for almost 2 months, it's down in the mid 60s.
I quit vaping in there too (quit actual cigarettes a year and a half ago). Getting off the nicotine made it drop faster than anything.5 -

What is the actual *normal average* HR?0

Resting is average 47.
Exercies is typically 90-1450 -

Mine is due to all the exercise I do. It has come down a lot since I committed to the exercise and lost weight.0 -
What is the actual *normal average* HR?
A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats a minute. Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats a minute.
Heart rate: What's normal? - Mayo Clinic

The best way to determine the resting HR is to take it in the morning while still in bed and before drinking coffee or tea. Even walking to the bathroom or the kitchen can slightly increase the rate.0 -
47 sitting here drinking coffee, lol.1

Mine is usually in the high 80's. It'd be lower if I let off the vape. (Which I'm finally cutting down to zeros times a day starting tomorrow.) I know my blood pressure is much better since I got back into jogging. It was fine before, but the upper end of high. Now it's about mid-range.0

So this is embarrassing ... but I just started trying to fix things in my life. Bad eating habits and no exercise. And would drink tons of coca cola. I use to go into the Dr office and my pulse would be around 90-115 .
Just checked my pulse and it's resting at 83. Yeah not a big difference but it is to me! I am making a difference! 5 -
I Also vape I have gone from 21mg to 3mg. But still haven't been able to give it all up. So I'm assuming that's why mine is 69 average.0

Mid 50's, down from upper 70's 4 months ago. 1

When is low too low? 40s seems really low. What's the difference between an athlete with a HR of 44 and someone who is anorexic? I mean, in one scenario doctors are very concerned. It just seems really low. Is lower much better? When is it concerning and when is it really healthy? I've asked the same question different ways I guess. I am just curious about things.
There was a time many many years ago when the dieting and exercise thing got a bit out of control on accident and I spent a night in the hospital. My HR went down to 32 while sleeping and the doctor freaked out.0 -

There's elite endurance athletes with HR in the 20s.0 -

It depends on why it's low, and what your other cardiac parameters are. In general, an athlete's heart rate slows in response to the heart being stronger and moving more blood per beat (greater stroke volume). Essentially, their heart is strong enough that it can move the necessary amount of blood in fewer beats, so even though the heart rate is low, their blood flow is normal. Their heart rate also still rises with exercise, something not seen in all types of bradycardia.
In someone sedentary, a low heart rate would be coupled with a normal stroke volume, since their heart is not particularly strong, and result in an low cardiac output. That low cardiac output can cause medical problems including loss of consciousness. Low heart rate, particularly low heart rate that doesn't increase much on exertion, is often due to a heart problem.1 -

This is why my dad now has a pacemaker, I think it basically was when he tried to more his heart didn't speed up so he lost consciousness. I know my Garmin does not read constantly and is not a medical device but I have seen it read 37 and tells me I average 45 over 7 days, although when I move it will raise quickly.0
