Your resting heart rate is how many times your heart beats in a minute when you're resting (not exercising or under stress, etc). It's easy to determine your resting heart rate (pulse). You'll need a watch or clock with a seconds hand and a quiet room. Take your index and middle fingers of one hand (preferably the one with a watch). I'm right-handed, so I use my left to take a pulse. Next place them on your wrist of the other hand near the base of your thumb. If you can see a bone in the centerline of your wrist, use that as a guide and go one finger-width towards your thumb. You should be able to feel your pulse in a steady rhythm at that point. Start counting the number of beats you feel in one minute (that's why you need a watch or a clock with the seconds hand). If you're really relaxed, or you can't feel a pulse, don't worry. You can also check your pulse on your carotid artery or jugular vein (they're in your neck on either side of your windpipe).

I actually went to the dr yesterday and my resting heart rate was over 100. That is not normal and she recommended that I have my thyroid checked. You definitely need to see a dr if you have a high heart rate.
Is a 150bpm a normal heart rate?
Genuinely depends on your age and the level of exertion you are having. If you were a baby in the womb then this could be considered a normal resting heart rate. If you are doing strenuous exercise, this could again be a normal heart rate. However, in an adult a normal resting heart rate is usually between 60 - 100 bpm. A healthy resting heart rate is more likely between 60 and 70 bpm. A resting heart rate is when you are doing no activity, such as lying down. If your heart rate is 150bpm when you are at rest this could be a sign that you are pretty unhealthy. A resting heart rate this high should probably be checked out by a doctor as it could lead to health complications in the future.
Why does my resting heart rate never go below 70 bpm you are 63?
For some people they simply will have a naturally higher or lower resting heart rate. This is nothing to be worried about and in an adult 70 as a resting heart rate is within the normal range. I have a natural very high resting heart rate of about 114 to 129 and doctors have constantly said do not worry about it it is simply natural
