Is 88 Heart beats per min normal for a 18 year old male?

Answer 1

Yes. Depending on your level of exercise tolerance, medications you are taking, and other factors (including how much caffeine you have had), anything from 50-100 beats per minute is normal for an adult.

Answer 2

According to the Mayo clinic, a normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per min (bpm). Healthy athletic people may have much lower rates around 40 to 60 bpm. There are many factors that affect heart rate including activity level, emotions, certain medications, if you are lying or standing, body size and fitness level as mentioned. The Cleveland Clinic, a very trusted source of medical information states: "Normal Heart Rate at Rest Children (ages 6 - 15) 70 – 100 beats per minute Adults (age 18 and over) 60 – 100 beats per minute." So 88 is within the normal. Here is some information on how to check your pulse: How to take your pulse 1. Place the tips of your index, second, and third fingers on the palm side of your other wrist, below the base of the thumb. 2. Press lightly with your fingers until you feel the blood pulsing beneath your fingers. 3. Use a watch with a second hand, or look at a clock with a second hand. 4. Count the beats you feel for 10 seconds. Multiply this number by six to get your heart rate (pulse) per minute.
