A member asked:
Is it normal to have a higher resting heart rate when laying down then when sitting down sometimes also after eating food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Your heart rate changes, so one time measurement is not enough to determine a trend. Also, heart rates under 100 beats per minute should not be worrisome.
