A member asked:

My resting pulse is always around 95-110 beats per minute. 90+ is very dangerous correct? does this mean stroke/heart attack for my future? bp 130/85

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not dangerous!: There is great variability in what is considered a "normal heart rate." Some very normal individuals run a heart rate of 90-110. Exercise, adequate sleep at night, avoiding stimulants such as caffeine all tend to lower the heart rate.

I have had my heart thoroughly checked by cardiologist recently. Lately my sitting down resting pulse rate is about 80 beats per minute. When I stand it goes up to 100 to 105 and only settles to 90 to 95 when just standing still. What could be causes?

A member asked:

My resting pulse rate has been 95 to 100 beats per minute for the last few days. I've had heart tests with a cardiologist about a year ago and all was fine. Can stress and anxiety cause that?
