Is a heart rate of 108 normal?

An adult's heartbeat is about 70 to 80 beats per time, and it is normal if it is not less than 60 beats. It may beat a little faster during labor, but it is normal when at rest. So when testing your heartbeat, you should pay attention to calm your mind and take a rest for a while. Only in this way can the measured heartbeat be the most normal. Do not test after excessive fatigue.

An adult's heart beats about 70 to 80 times per minute, but 60 to 100 beats per minute is normal. The heart beats faster when working than when resting, women beat faster than men, children beat faster than adults, and newborns can beat up to 150 times per minute. On average, if a person lives to be 100 years old, his or her heart beats a total of about 4 billion times.

Normally, if an adult's heart beats more than 100 times per minute at rest, it is medically considered "tachycardia"; if it is less than 60 times per minute, it is considered "bradycardia". Some people's heartbeats may speed up, slow down, or stop and start. These all fall within the range of abnormal heartbeat. Abnormal heartbeat is one of the symptoms of heart disease.

However, like many organs in the body, the heart's working capacity can vary and it has a lot of room for flexibility.

According to research, if you do a set of radio gymnastics carefully, your heart rate may increase by 20 to 30 beats per minute. When people are angry or afraid, students' hearts will beat faster when they are about to enter the examination room. Athletes climbing Mount Everest have a heart rate of 170 to 180 beats per minute. If some people are asked to run 300 meters with a 30 kg weight, their heart rate will exceed 200 beats per minute. Medical records show that the heart rate was as high as 270 beats per minute.

The purpose of speeding up the heartbeat is to pump more blood to meet the body's needs for labor, exercise and special circumstances. If the heartbeat is too slow and the blood supply is insufficient, the body will not get the necessary oxygen and nutrients and people will not be able to live a normal life, and even more serious consequences may occur.

Physiologists have found that people who engage in heavy physical labor and intense exercise for a long time have their hearts exercised and their heart rate is much less than that of normal people.

Relevant materials tell us: There was a patient with athlete's foot in the recovery period whose heart beat less than 30 times per minute; there was a construction worker in Northeast my country whose heart beat only 27 times per minute; and a person named Dorothy Stevens set the world record for the lowest heart rate, with only 12 beats per minute.
