Your resting heart rate is the heart pumping the lowest amount of blood you need because youâre not exercising. If youâre sitting or lying and youâre calm, relaxed and arenât ill, your heart rate is normally between 60 (beats per minute) and 100 (beats per minute). But a heart rate lower than 60 doesnât necessarily signal a medical problem. It could be the result of taking a drug such as a beta blocker.
According to MayoClinic.com, a typical adult should have a resting heart rate between 60 and 100 beats per minute. To determine if your resting heart rate is within this range, find your pulse on your neck or wrist, count the beats in 15 seconds and multiply by 4 to determine your beats per minute. To decrease a rapid heart beat quickly, splash cold water on your face.
