Disease description:

I often feel palpitations and discomfort, and I suspect something might be wrong with my body. I’d like to get a medical check-up, but I’ve been extremely busy at work lately. I’m curious—what is the normal resting heart rate for a healthy adult?

Hello, The normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm). Among healthy adults at rest, there is considerable individual variation in heart rate, with an average of approximately 75 bpm. Newborns have a much faster heart rate, often exceeding 130 bpm. In adults, females typically have a slightly higher resting heart rate than males. Heart rate may increase during physical activity, fatigue, or emotional stress—sometimes exceeding 100 bpm. Additionally, certain medical conditions—such as hyperthyroidism, severe anemia, or infection—can also cause tachycardia (an abnormally rapid heart rate). We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
