like how fast? 80 bpm? 90 bpm? also, how old and how tall is this person? And you're talking resting heart rate, right?


Yeah, as LKL mentions and I'll now reiterate for emphasis;
how fast for a person
how old
and with what kind of body structure?

Level of activity before testing the heart rate is a factor as well.

Btw, what's the blood pressure doing?

My heartrate has slown down a bit but when I was in my early 20s it used to be 100 on average. Also low blood pressure. I am a very anxious panicky person so perhaps it is something to do with it. My mother also has a similar heart rate and blood pressure.

And by the way I am small and slight.. though with a few extra pounds since the antidepressants.

Have you ever had your epinepherine levels checked?
