Question 1

 Therefore answer is self explanatory.

Question 2

does heart rate in the upper 40s indicate heart trouble?  i'm 27 and always had a resting pulse rate of 54-68, until now. i'm not athletic.

Accepted Answer

Depends: Resting heart rate in the upper 40s while awake is considered abnormal in most adults. Ecg should be done to determine type of rhythm. In a healthy adult, sinus bradycardia in this range if without symptoms, is usually not considered to be dangerous.

Question 3

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 9

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 10

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.
