What Is the Normal Heart Rate by Age, and When Should I Be Concerned? - #14872
I recently started wearing a smartwatch that tracks my heart rate throughout the day, and now I’m totally confused about what’s normal. I noticed that my heart rate is often in the 50s when I wake up, but during the day, it jumps to the 90s even when I’m just sitting. Sometimes, when I climb stairs or walk fast, it goes above 120 for a while, but then it settles back down. I looked up the normal heart rate by age, but every website gives a different number! I’m in my mid-30s, so I want to know what the normal heart rate by age is for someone like me. Should I be worried that my heart rate drops below 60 when I’m resting? Does it mean my heart is strong or that there’s a problem? I also get anxious sometimes, and when that happens, my heart races above 100 even when I’m not moving much. Is that normal, or does it mean something is wrong? I’ve been reading about Ayurveda and heart health, and I wonder if an imbalance in my doshas could be affecting my heart rate. Can Ayurveda help regulate heart function naturally? Are there herbs or breathing exercises that can stabilize heart rate fluctuations? Has anyone else tracked their heart rate and noticed weird variations? Should I go for a medical checkup, or is this just part of normal heart function? Any Ayurvedic recommendations for maintaining a healthy heart rate?
