A member asked:

I took my heart rate 3 times without leaving time in between. it gave 65 then 64 then 73. is it normal that it goes from 64 to 73 with no time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds human: A normal, awake person who checks her heart rate or pulse rate 5 times in a row should get 3 to 4 different results. People do not have the same heart rate from moment to moment. If a person checks his pulse 7 times and gets the exact same number 7 times, he is probably "rounding off" in his counting or he might be an android. Nature is not that consistent.
