Abnormal tachycardia: Average resting heart rates in healthy people can range from the 50s to 70s, so an average resting heart rate of over 80 is usually considered abnormal. Your symptoms may be from blockage in the heart's blood supply vessels (coronary artery disease) and need to be evaluated by a cardiologist . If you can tolerate aspirin, start taking an adult strength 325mg today
