A member asked:

How low can my 6yo's heartrate go & he still be ok? his hr was over 100 asleep avg a month ago. recent 80/90s with dips pretty low. oximeter read.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

60's common: A sleeping rate of 60-90 is standard for the age group & drops to 50-90 around 10. Oxymetry that remains over 92% would be normal for most kids with normal lungs . Your pcp should give you guidelines if you situation calls for different expectations.
