Is a heart rate of 62 normal?

Fast-paced life, although our daily living standards have been improved, but the social competition is too fierce. Bad living habits and eating habits, staying up late, overeating, etc. are very common in normal times. If the body is under high pressure for a long time, it is easy to cause abnormalities in physical health, such as increased or decreased heartbeat, etc. If it is not taken seriously, it may seriously affect life.

Is a heart rate of 62 normal?

A heart rate of 62 beats per minute is within the normal range simply from the perspective of the number of heart beats, because a normal person's heart rate is generally between 60 and 100 beats per minute. But you can't just look at the heart rate, you also have to look at the heart rhythm. A normal person's heart rhythm should be sinus rhythm. A sinus rhythm between 60 and 100 beats per minute is a normal heart rate and rhythm. However, you still have to look at the rhythm and rate of the heartbeat. If they are within the normal range, then there is no problem.

What is a normal heartbeat?

Generally speaking, 60-100 beats/minute is the normal heart rate range for adults. A large number of studies have also shown that even within the normal range, a higher heart rate is significantly associated with ischemic heart disease, stroke and sudden cardiac death. The study found that for every 10 beats per minute increase in heart rate, the risk of heart disease increased by 10% and 18% respectively.

In addition, the speed of the heartbeat is closely related to life span, and the same law applies to natural creatures. For example, a turtle's heartbeat is 6 beats per minute, and its life span is 277 years. However, a type of mouse has a very fast heartbeat, as high as 500 beats per minute, but it only lives for more than two years before dying.

Abnormal heartbeat may be a sign of illness

If middle-aged women have chest tightness and palpitations, as well as neuropsychiatric symptoms such as poor sleep or irritability, it is mostly due to autonomic dysfunction or anxiety or depression. It is best to go to the hospital to see a neurology or psychiatry department to find the cause and solve the problem.

If weight loss is accompanied by palpitations and rapid heartbeat, the common cause is hyperthyroidism, which can be confirmed by thyroid function tests.

Dynamic electrocardiogram helps to find out the cause of the disease

Competition in modern society is fierce. Long-term overtime, staying up late, busy work, and high-pressure life are very common. When symptoms such as palpitations, heart palpitations, chest tightness, and shortness of breath appear, if you do not seek medical attention early and treat them as minor illnesses, it can easily lead to worsening of the disease and even endanger the patient's life.

Doctors recommend that if the heart rate is abnormal, or if you feel your heart beating rapidly or pounding, you can seek comprehensive examinations such as dynamic electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound, blood pressure, and chest X-ray to find out the cause and develop the most optimized and economical treatment plan. If you feel unwell, the best way is to go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations in time. Once the disease is discovered, it is even more important to seize the opportunity for treatment.

When your heartbeat is abnormal, first check if there is something wrong with your daily routine and adjust it back to normal. If it recurs over a long period of time, don’t forget to seek medical attention!
