Accepted Answer

: I congratulate you on your fondness for exercise. It is well known that hot weather can increase your heart rate abnormally and can put you at risk for heat stroke. This is a well documented effect. My advice? Go to the gym to exercise when the weather is hot and humid. I do not understand what you mean by "Why?". Please discuss this with experts in exercise physiology. Wish you good health.

Question 3

hi 86- to 90 bpm heart rate for a 26 year old smoking man ?!? is it normal ?!?

Accepted Answer

Normal Heart Rate: The ideal range for adult heart rate is 60-100 BPM as long as it is a regular rhythm, that is all beats are evenly spaced. If you are feeling pain, palpitations, shortness of breath or discomfort you should consult a doctor. Smoking will cause lung, heart and blood vessel damage and effect your body's ability to take in and transport oxygen, & also increase your heart rate & blood pressure.

Depends: If you have no symptoms and are not lightheaded when you get up, so long as your doct knows, you should be fine.

Question 5

Question 6

i am an active 41 year old female. i have been noticing on my stats when i run that my average heart rate is between 155-162 bpm. i peak around 173-184 and spend most of the time i run in the peak zone. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Pretty much normal: 179-180 bpm. Karp states that there are two formulas to figure your heart rate while running. For the first, subtract your age from 220 to find your maximum heart rate. A 32-year-old's max heart rate would be 188 beats per minute. The second formula, the Karvonen Method, determines your average running heart rate. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/in-depth/exercise.../art-200468

Question 7

im a 14 year old male and the other day i was just sitting in bed when i checked my apple watch to see my heart rate it was showing 46 bpm. i was just wondering if this was a normal also i havent really been active in a while so im not an athlete.

Accepted Answer

Low heart rate : Low heart rates of 46 are sometimes no concern but can be of concern. You should see a doctor. The best thing is to check and record your heart rate by using the radial pulse. https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/want-to-check-your-heart-rate-heres-how

Accepted Answer

Variable: Typically we characterize a normal heart rate in anyone as 60-100 bpm. But there is great variability in the normal population of otherwise healthy individuals. I saw a 40 yo female patient in my office today whom I deem normal who has a resting heart rate of 43 bpm.

Question 10
