* === Your pulse rate is a measure of how many times a minute your heart beats.Try taking your pulse rate again (when you are totally relaxed and have not recently exercised): Count the number of pulses you can feel in 20 seconds and multiply this number by 3 to find your BPM (beats per minute) Well trained athletes tend to have low pulse rates (anywhere from mid 50s-70) A slow pulse reflects that the heart is able to provide ample blood supply to your body tissues with a minimum of work.You should not be too worried if your pulse if 47, this may just be your normal pulse rate and as long as it has not changed drastically, you don't need to worry; though 47 is low and may signify some health problems. Rate may be noted as normal, fast (tachycardia), or slow (bradycardia). An average pulse rate for a resting adult is 70-80 bpm (beats per minute). Rates faster than 100 BPM are considered to be tachycardia. Rates slower than 60 BPM are considered to be bradycardia.

Mine is like 43. I used to do weights and run like 2 years or more ago, maybe I was above average fitness, but no Athlete. Do you have side effects?? I actually have had some dizziness and breathlessness, but I was told by a Doctor this was due to Anxiety and stress since he asked me how I coped with exercise now a day, (I don't do much but I can take it). I'm still not a 100% convinced of the stress argument. * But I'm not sure.. Can anyone elaborate a little more on having a low pulse and not being an athlete? * Thanks!
