NO: Tachycardia is generally a pulse >100bpm. 60-100 is considered in the normal range. Depending on your overall health and any underlying medical conditions you may have, a lower pulse rate may be better for your overall health, and with exercise and eating well etc, that can be achieved over time. Best wishes.

60-100 bpm.: Assuming the underlying heart rhythm is normal, a heart rate between 60 and 100 bpm would be considered normal at rest. Would go above 100 temporarily with activity, and may be under 60 at rest in someone who’s athletic. So assuming the underlying heath rhythm is normal, this would not be tachycardia.
