Is 83 beats per minute a normal heart rate for an 18 year old female?

Answer 1

Answer

If you haven't smoked in the last half hour or had coffee in that same last half hour, your pulse shouldn't be that high. There are a lot of things that can cause the pulse to go up, but if you find that your pulse rate is higher than you'd like, please take the time to consult a doctor. Better safe than sorry.

It sounds to me like you are a little out of shape and maybe over weight.

If that truly is your accurate resting heart rate.

Try to check your pulse when you first wake up in the morning that is the best time to record your resting heart rate.

Answer 2

Yes, the average heart rate, or pulse, for an adult is between 60 beats and 100 beats per minute. For your information, infants tend to have the highest rate, followed by children and adolescents. After that, the average rate remains constant regardless of age. Exceptionally trained athletes tend to have a lower resting rate and individuals on certain medications tend to have either a higher or lower pulse depending on the medication. You have a fine pulse :)

Answer 3

A normal heart rate can be between 60-100 beats per minute. So its not great but its not bad either. When you wake in the morning try to take a reading then for your best accurate resting heart rate. Also understand that your heart rate goes up not only for excercising, but also eating a big meal, and even just later in the afternoon when your body is more tired. And worrying about your heart rate won't make it slow down any faster.

Answer 4

I hope so because I'm 25 and female and got that same result at my resting rate.

Answer 5

Might be slightly high but well within normal parameters

Answer 6

No, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. When the heartrate is above 100, it is what's know as tachycardia.

Answer 7

Yes it is fine
