Because there is so much variation seen between healthy individuals, and also in just one individual, as to normal rhythms. A "normal" pulse rate may vary between 50-80 beats per minute , depending on genetic and patient factors, as well as on existing disease states. Obesity may increase a resting pulse rate, as might hypertension or Asthma. A low pulse rate may be found more often in women, the elderly , or those with low blood pressure. This is why it is important to be familiar with your own normal baseline, so as to inform healthcare staff in a hospital as to what is "normal" for you.

Is it normal to be lightheaded and dizzy after having a pacemaker installed?

You may be having trouble with the pulse rate. If it is low, not enough blood is getting to the brain. It should be above 50+ beats per minute. Also check the amount of oxygen in the blood. If you are at home, a small pulse/oxy can be bought and will give you both. Of course, the blood pressure could be lower than you are use to. Check on:oxygen saturationpulse rateblood pressureto be sure that they are in the normal range and talk to the doctor.


Is 102 a high pulse rate for a sixteen year old?

Yes, 80 is considered an average pulse rate. 102 is considered moderately high, but not excessively high. Make sure you aren't taking your heart rate measurement after any physically demanding activity, because that would increase the value of the reading. If you continue to have a measurement in the range of 102, you should probably talk to a physician. You aren't at any sort of risk of falling over dead just from a heart rate of 102, but you should consult a physician if you are unsure or if your heart rate stays that high.


Your child has asthma his pulse rate is 131 is that something you should worry about he is also on breathing treatments and a steroid?

After taking the steroids and meds, the pulse will probably go that high. However, it should not remain that high. For a sustained period of time, 131 is too high for a child. Monitor and if sustained 131, talk to the doctor.


108 heart rate for 50 year old man?

Resting pulse? Is this your heart rate while your sitting around watching tv, or after you've had a nice long walk? How much to you weigh? What's your family history? There are too many factors (good and bad) that can produce this pulse rate. Talk with your doctor and tell him/her all the details and go from there. I know everyone probably says to just go see your doctor but when it comes to your heart its better to get a professionals advise.

It's uncommon, but it may be normal depending on athleticism, medications, and other factors. Talk to your health care provider for advice specific to your situation. If you are experiencing dizziness, chest pain, or lightheadedness, go to the emergency room (by ambulance would be best).

Is blood pressure 170 over 115 during an exercise stress test normal for a 48 yr old woman with a heart rate at 140 beats per minute?

Your blood pressure is fine but your heart rate is a little high so you should ask your doctor about that. I know that a normal resting heart rate runs between 55 to 60 bpm. But you might want to talk to your doctor about and ask why you have a normal blood pressure but a seemingly high heart rate.
