Heart rate: Except for athletes, most people have heart rates between 60-80's at rest. When you stand up from lying down, reflexes at work speed up your heart rate to maintain blood flow to your brain to prevent you from fainting. Gravity works on our internal bodies, too.

Yes: Normal heart rate is 60-100. Well trained athletes often have lower resting heart rates. The heart rate goes up with activity, fear, anxiety, exercise, pain, and talking.
