What is the normal average heart rate for humans?
Disease description:
I am 20 years old. My resting heart rate is over 50 beats per minute, and it sometimes reaches over 120 beats per minute after exercise. Could you please tell me what the normal average heart rate is for adults?

Under normal circumstances, a person’s heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute at rest. A resting heart rate in the 50s may occur in some healthy individuals—for example, athletes—without causing palpitations. However, if palpitations are present, this indicates an abnormal condition.
