Still normal: A normal heart rate range is 40-90. Therefore nothing to worry about. However, it is useful to be checked for risk factors such as LDL (cholesterol), high blood pressure, family history of heart disease, glucose abnormalities and smoking. Check with your doc. Additionally, you may be deconditioned and not doing enough exercise. Discuss your exercise program with your doc also.

Normal: The normal heart rate at rest can be from 55 to 90 , with 72 being average. It is normal for the rate to increase with activity or anxiety and your rate of 85 during moderate activity is quite normal. With vigorous exercise the heart rate can exceed 140 but should gradually return to normal after 5 to 15 minutes of rest.
