A member asked:

Hi doctor, male 58 y/o. bp , 115/80. is it normal to have a pulse of 90 at rest ? bit concerned.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Not necessarily. "normal" heart rates are classically defined as anything between 60-100. There can be broad variablility across a population and still be normal.
