Question 1

what's an average resting heart rate for a 15 year old boy?

Accepted Answer

Probably 50-70: Depends on how much exercise /physical activity he gets.   But a true resting hr for the average adolescent male probably runs 50-70.   For those who do sports, it can be lower, into the 40's.    I grew up playing competitive sports, and at that age through my early 20's mine was about 40-42.   If its considerably faster, say 90 or greater, i would seen by a pediatric cardiologist.

Question 2

15 yr old daughter has raised potassium  5.4mmol, more than once.resting heart rate (95-110) dizzy, breathless, heart rate at 170 with mild exertion?

Accepted Answer

Endocrine problem?: Pediatric Causes of hyperkalemia and tachycardia are extensive and need an evaluation by a pediatrician.  It may be as simple as dehydration or maybe as complex as a hormone disruption causing many metabolic derangements such as addisons disease or hyperthyroidism.

Question 5

docs, what's a normal resting heart rate for a 70 year old lady?

Accepted Answer

50-90: 50-90. (90-100 is normal but a bit high). Any medication she takes may modify her heart rate and that's a factor too. HR during sleep is normally much slower at times, even into the 30s transiently .

Question 6

my resting heart rate has been 100-130 for 2-3 years. i'm a 23 year old healthy female in my second year of medical school. should i worry about this?

Accepted Answer

Cardiology: Yes, you should see a Cardiologist, discontinue any energy drinks, decongestants, coffee, tea, Moutain Dew or other stimulants for now. That is abnormally high for a resting heart rate. A Holter monitor or event monitor might be instructive. At least see your primary care physician for an EKG and advice. If you are overweight, then start a weight loss program with a reduced calorie diet as well.

35 year-old female, resting heart rate 95-98, bp at rest 142/99:  exercising  to lose weight...took 3 hours to recover resting pulse...so should i decrease my intensity a bit, just to be safe?

Accepted Answer

Get checked out.: You shouldn't take long to recover and your resting pulse is fast. Get thyroid checked along with your heart. Go see your doctor soon.

Question 8

55-85: Bpm....But this is variable.

Question 9

i am a 45 year old female weighing 145 lbs that has always been active. i have started bootcamp classes within the past month. my resting heart rate is 68 bpm and 196 bpm during intense workouts. is that a something to be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

: You're exceeding the recommended target heart rates for vigorous exercise in your age group. Those rates are between 146 to 160 or so. If you're physically fit your heart rate quickly slows within the first minute and should return to your normal resting rate in about  7-8 minutes.  You should note significant improvement in fitness after 4-6 weeks but longer for peak fitness.These are guidelines.

Question 10

can you tell me is a resting heart rate of 93 for a 26 year old female bad?

Accepted Answer

Heart rate: 93 is a relatively high resting rate, you should be on a regular exercise program and perhaps get checked to be sure you are not anemic or hyperthyroid.
