It actually depends on the age. Assuming the individual is over ten years of age and is a healthy adult, a normal pulse rate would be somewhere from 60 beats per minute to 100 beats per minute. It also depends how physically active you are. Athletes tend to have lower pulse rates. If your pulse is WEAKER than usual, then it could be a sign of some sort of health issue (blood clotting, heart disease, etc...). If it doesn't change much and continues on, you should probably seek medical help. Best of luck!

What is weak pulse?

What is thready heart rate?
I'm assuming that you heard this term from a practitioner of Chinese Medicine. If it's referring to something else, disregard this answer. In Chinese Medicine a thready pulse is one way to translate the Chinese term Xi Mai, which describes a pulse that is thin and most often weak in quality. It feels thin in diameter, like a silken thread (indicating a lesser volume of fluid in the artery itself), and usually is soft, and forceless. It indicates a physiological deficiency of some sort, usually of the qi or blood. Hope this was helpful.It is not only used in Chinese Medicine. It is commonly used in Canada to describe a weak pulse with varying degrees of strength. Thready pulse is also taught to be a key sign in Shock ( hypovolemic, anaphylactic, septic, cardiogenic and neurogenic shock )
What causes weak pulse?

What can cause weak pulse?
the heart beats faster than usual and the pulse is very weak, why is that?
If you have a brachial pulse what would your blood pressure be at least in mmHg?
As a rule of thumb, If you can palpate a brachial pulse the systolic pressure is at least 60 mmhg. Character of the pulse whether bounding or thready will give additional clues to the approximate blood pressure. If you can palpate a radial pulse the BP is at least 80 mmHg.
Why does the pulse become weak as a result of blood loss?
as it loses blood it loses what it has to pulse so you don't have a pulse that is much stronger than the you had
What is a good sentence for pulse?
The patient's pulse was weak and irregular. After medication, the patient's pulse was strong and regular at 88 beats per minute.
Is a strong weak rhythm in 3 or 4 time?
Three time is triple meter with a recurring pulse pattern of Strong/weak/weak. Four time is a duple meter with recurring pulse patterns of Strong/weak/less strong/weak. So . . . strong weak rhythm would fall into the duple meter pattern - to feel this for yourself, tap the rhythms on your knee or a table top until you feel the pulse pattern internally.
What observations should be noted and recorded when you take a patient's pulse?
When taking a pulse you need to pay attention to the rate of the pulse (how fast/slow?) and the quality of the pulse (how weak/strong?).
