What Is the Normal Heart Rate by Age, and When Should I Be Concerned? - #14872

Anonymous

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?

For someone in their mid-30s, here’s a quick breakdown of what’s generally considered normal: Resting Heart Rate (RHR): 60–100 bpm is normal, but well-conditioned individuals may have an RHR in the 50s, which is typically a sign of good heart health. Elevated Heart Rate: It’s normal for your heart rate to jump to 120+ during moderate activity, but it should settle back down within a few minutes. Anxiety: Heart rates above 100 during rest can happen due to anxiety or stress and may not be cause for concern unless frequent or prolonged. Should You Worry? If your heart rate regularly exceeds 100 bpm without a clear reason or drops below 50 with symptoms like dizziness, it’s worth getting a checkup. Ayurvedic Tips for Heart Health Herbs: Arjuna: Strengthens heart muscles and supports a stable heart rate. Ashwagandha: Helps reduce anxiety and stabilize heart rhythms. Breathing Exercises: Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing): Balances doshas and reduces stress. Deep Belly Breathing: Helps slow the heart rate during anxiety. Want more details on herbs or breathing techniques? If your heart rate still concerns you, seeing a doctor for peace of mind is a good idea!
