Normal people's heart rate problem

We all know that the normal heart rate is sixty to one hundred beats, and women's heart rate is relatively faster, so everyone should have some understanding of the approximate range of their own heart rate. Everyone's heart rate is different. For example, the heart rates of people who exercise regularly and those who do not exercise are completely different. People who exercise regularly have a lower heart rate, so our low heart rate in life may be more related to exercise.

The heart rate of a healthy adult is 60 to 100 beats per minute, most of them are 60 to 80 beats per minute, and women are slightly faster; children under 3 years old are often above 100 beats per minute; the elderly are slower.

Heart rate can vary depending on age, gender, and other physiological conditions. The heart rate of a newborn is very high, reaching over 130 beats per minute. Among adults, women generally have a slightly faster heart rate than men. For the same person, the heart rate slows down when quiet or sleeping, and speeds up when exercising or emotionally excited. Under the influence of certain drugs or neurohumoral factors, the heart rate can speed up or slow down. People who regularly engage in physical labor and exercise usually have a slower heart rate.

A heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute in an adult (generally not more than 160 beats/minute) or more than 150 beats/minute in an infant is called sinus tachycardia. It is common in normal people after exercise, excitement, agitation, smoking, drinking and strong tea. It can also be seen in fever, shock, anemia, hyperthyroidism, heart failure and the use of atropine, epinephrine, ephedrine, etc.

If the heart rate is between 160 and 220 beats per minute, it is often called paroxysmal tachycardia. A heart rate lower than 60 beats/minute (generally above 40 beats/minute) is called sinus bradycardia. It can be seen in people who engage in heavy physical labor for a long time and in athletes; pathologically, it can be seen in hypothyroidism, increased intracranial pressure, obstructive jaundice, and overdose or poisoning of digitalis, quinidine, or propranolol.

If the heart rate is less than 40 beats/min, atrioventricular block should be considered. A heart rate that is too fast, exceeding 160 beats/minute, or less than 40 beats/minute, is mostly seen in patients with heart disease. Patients often experience palpitations, chest tightness, and discomfort in the precordial area. A detailed examination should be conducted early so that treatment can be targeted at the cause.

I believe that after reading the normal heart rate issues introduced in this article, you should have a certain understanding of the normal heart rate issues of normal people. If our heart rate is not within the normal range, it may be because there is something wrong with our body function. At this time, we should check our heart rate.
