What is medically defined as normal blood oxygen range and heart rate range during sleep for adults?
HR is always within normal range, oxygen is perfect, heart rhythm is perfect. For some reason, though, I feel like my heart has been beating very HARD recently. Even when Im trying to go to sleep or Im just sitting down. Is this something serious?
