Resting Heartrate

Okay, okay, I'm tired of arguing weight with Aquageek and company...and Centaur brought up a very neat idea. So answer me this, if you're so inclined to: What's your resting heartrate? There are a few who say theirs is below 55, and some who say it's right around 60. To try and get a slightly less askew measurement, try taking it while you're sitting right here, reading this. Hopefully, you're on the computer during the day, either at work (shame on you for being on the boards at work!) or at home (I won't question that), or somewhere, and you sit down for a few minutes at least. Take your heartrate, and answer the poll, and we'll see what we come up with. I'd start by telling you mine, but I had an asthma attack this morning, and as a result, my resting heart rate is higher, around 68 bpm's. Typically, it's 54. Stupid asthma. Makes me feel like I've been hit by a truck. :(

  • Originally posted by thisgirl13 I also have a thyroid condition (hypo), but my resting heart rate is still between 52 and 60 bpm's. What kind of medication are you on, swimshark? I mean that as a serious question, not a smart remark, just in case you can't tell by simply reading the words. I'm on synthroid. Right now, with my pregnancy, I'm at .15 but normally it is .125. I've been on the medicine since 1995, when I was diagnosed. What about you?
