Question 1

is a 103 pulse rate too high i took a self test at a pharmacy an can't remember the bp but i remember pulse it also said bp at risk an pulse high?

Accepted Answer

Pulse varies all the: time.  There are plenty of factors which can either raise or lower your heart rate.  Giving one reading, out of context, is pretty meaningless. You can buy a BP and pulse monitor for home use for about $40 and check at home.

Question 2

normal adult pulse rate?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Normal depends on age and activity. At rest, 50-100. With peak exertion, the normal peak heart rate will be in the vicinity of (220 - age in years).  Example: if you're 41, your normal peak hr would be around 179.  This is just a rule of thumb. Many people can exceed this with strenuous exertion.

Question 3

what is a good pulse rate?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Usual range for adult is 60 to 100 but it is continually fluctuating based on what stresses your body is subjected to. It is how your heart responds to stress that is the important thing.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Normal: It is normal. The average adult pulse rate at rest is 72.

Question 5

Question 6

what is the normal pulse rate?

Accepted Answer

60 to 100: Heart rate of 60 to 100 BPM is considered normal rate for most average adults.

Question 7

what pulse rate should you have?

Accepted Answer

Pulse rate: First of all its really a good idea to have a pulse...   :)

We generally consider 60-80 beats a minute at rest to be pretty good tho' plus or minus 10 on either end for a range of 50-90 is quite reasonable.

Question 8

what can cause a pulse rate of 48?

Accepted Answer

It depends: This could be a "normal" rhythm just going slow - sinus bradycardia.  This may be due to medications, thyroid issues, high exercise conditioning, or from a "sick" sinus node.  The pulse may also be slow if there is slow or absent communication from the atria - partial or complete heart block.  This could be potentially quite dangerous.  An ekg should be able to tell for sure.

Question 9

how can i lower my pulse rate to 60?

Accepted Answer

Exercise...: Aerobic exercise, the kind where you get short of breath and sweaty for 45 minutes to an hour at a time will improve your cardiovascular conditioning and lower your heart rate.  Try to do this every other day, and avoid the "simple" carbohydrates, stick to more complex carbs.

Question 10

does pulse rate increase as bp increases?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Pulse and BP are somewhat independent.  Many things that raise your pulse also raise bp, but that is not always true and the opposite is also true.  For example very low BP due to shock is accompanied by very high pulse rate and very high pulse rate is often associated with lack of forward flow and very low bp.
