Question 2

heart very low heart beats or can't find it

Accepted Answer

A : A low heart rate is called "bradycardia" and is considered to be any heart rate less than 60 beats per minute. Bradycardia can either be a sign of a healthy, fit heart, or it can be a sign of a problem with the heart's electrical system. Marathon runners and other very fit, young athletes will often have very low heart rates - and this is a good thing!  if you do not fit into the "fit, young athlete" category, then there are other things to consider such as damage to the heart from coronary artery disease, heart attack, a heart infection such as endocarditis, a metabolic problem such as hypothyroidism, or a medication side effect. You should discuss your concerns with your doctor. They may want to check an ekg and a few blood tests to rule out problems with your heart. Good luck!

Question 3

Depends: Varies with age, conditioning, any other issues.
A marathoner may be normal at 40.
Most at 60-80.

Question 4

what will happen if your heart rate is too low?

Accepted Answer

You die: Well, only if it's too low to support life!  You mean pretty low but not that low.  Some people tolerate a heart rate in the 40's or even 30's with no symptoms.  Most often, when the heart rate is that low, one feels fatigue, dizziness, and may even have chest pain or pass out.  A dangerously high potassium, thyroid disorder or too much of a medication might cause this.  Some require a pacemaker.

Question 5

how low can heart rate drop to when taking atendol?

Question 6

i just took my heart rate and it was 67. how low is too low?

Accepted Answer

Depends: What is important is what is called the cardiac output, which is your heart rate x your stroke volume or the amount of blood the heart ejects with each beat. If your heart is efficient, like an athlete's it can eject more with each beat thus requiring a lower heart rate to meet cardiac output. Your cardiac output also depends on your needs, so while sleeping the heart rate maybe in the 40s.

Question 7

is my heart rate normal if it goes quickly from low to high?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Responsiveness to physiologic need is a sign of health. Going up quickly is normal assuming you're not going from 80 to 240!  but if you go from 80 to 120 (the exact numbers depend on age) and then come back down quickly with rest, you're very healthy! (hr should drop 10% within 1 minute of cool down).

Question 8
