A member asked:
If my heart rate laying down is 66bpm, and sitting down it is 78bpm. which one of these is considered my resting heart rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both: Both are. HR rises when upright to keep blood pumped out of legs and toward vital organs. If it stays more than 20 beats higher than when lying down, it can mean dehydration. Resting HR just means that you're not doing any activity.
