To ask what is your resting heart rate?

[Macbeth8]

Mine averages at 50-53 bpm
I have been told this is very low! But Not sure why.
How do you know if its a problem?
I dont have any other health concerns and am pretty active but not excessive or overly at the gym every day kind of person

Mines about 56 to 60. Mid thirties pretty average sized female.

Mine is in the 70s/80s.

People who keep fit are known to have lower resting heart rates. It is not a bad thing if you feel well.

Mine is around 65. And I’m very active…. Aged 40

According to my Apple Watch mine is 62. I just googled and it says normal is 60-100 so yours does seem low.

Mine is around 70ish

meant to paste from the link above -

Most adults have a resting heart rate between 60 and 100bpm.

The fitter you are, the lower your resting heart rate is likely to be. For example, athletes may have a resting heart rate of 40 to 60bpm, or lower.

See a GP to get checked if you think your heart rate is continuously above 120bpm or below 60bpm, although it may simply be that this is normal for you.

I run a lot mine is around 40-45. When I was super fit it was 38.

My work always comment on it every medical I have.

Mine's mid 50s. Am 47 and fairly active. I don’t think there’s any issues with it being that amount.

Mine is between 53 & 55 usually according to my Fitbit. I do work out a fair bit though and am quite active generally. Mid 50s.

Mine is 48 I am fairly fit - run, yoga, weights 4-6 times a week. Walk a lot. I'm 46

I was being monitored for something else in hospital last week and mine was 55 lying down and resting, they didn't comment on it. Is your rate always 51? I'm not medically trained but it does seem a bit low. According to Dr Google its on the very lower end of normal. How's your blood pressure? Do you feel dizzy or anything?

Are you using a fitbit or similar? I thought those devices make them lower because they include sleeping heart rates, obviously when you go to the doc to get measured you are sitting and not sleeping

Mid-50s. I'm 46 and definitely not an athlete but I do run a few times a week and go to the gym. When I had a hiatus from running it went up to mid 60s.

45ish but I am pretty active (46 yo female). Yours is low but if you're reasonably fit I'd say not worryingly so.

Mines about 65-70, I am 64, I had covid recently and it was about 80-90 for a week or so which was a bit scary. DHs is about 55-60, he does lots of running though, lots of exercise can make it a bit lower

I just looked back and before I started running 2.5 years ago I averaged about 55.

40-42

I'm 41. My RHR has always been on the low side even when I'm unfit. I wouldn't say I'm "an athlete" but I have a good level of fitness.

Oh my resting is sat watching TV, not in bed as I don't wear my watch overnight.

In the middle of the night, lying in bed, it goes down to about 50. I'm morbidly obese.

I've just tested mine and it's 74. I'm sure it's faster than it used to be, before I had Covid.

Info here to help :)

I'm 57 and mine is 40. I'm a runner so it's normal.

Mine is always low. Just tested it and it was 45 bpm, that's normal for me. It's always been low, and I have low blood pressure. No idea why. I run every day but it was that low when I was a teenager and didn't exercise. I was a bit concerned when I was prescribed codeine after surgery once and it went below 20 but doctor said no worries if I still felt OK. 😂

I have asked a medical professional about this before. They said some have higher, some have lower. The issue rises if it suddenly changes either way, then to be concerned.

52-55 age 46.
