Guest guest Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Betty, higher than 80 is supposedly too high SandyE~Houston Question about resting pulse rate? I tried to post this two times. Hopefully it will go through this time LOL. Does anyone know what the proper resting pulse rate should be? Does it vary for everyone?

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 Around 70 to 80, but no higher, OR too much lower than that. Below about (loosely) 65, we're talking hypothyroid here. Mine was staying as low as 58 when undertreated and on levoxyl. It was horrible. I felt like the blood wasn't even moving through my body, and I was right, it wasn't. I was more likely to have a heart attack THAT way, from slow moving blood forming a clot to go straight to my heart, than I was to have one from fast moving blood from a slightly fast pulse. Mine always averages 72, right on the money. If it deviates much from that, I know there's a problem. Question about resting pulse rate? > > > I tried to post this two times.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 When I was hypo it was 54 to 60. I remember going to my doc one time. I was taking beta blockers and antithyroid drug. Nurse checked my pulse and said it is 54. The doc walked in and I asked him if that was a low pulse he said " WELL, WE DON'T WANT IT TO GET ANY LOWER THAN THAT " I was hypo. Why didn't the doctor investigate it farther? Because he is dumb. wrote:Around 70 to 80, but no higher, OR too much lower than that. Below about (loosely) 65, we're talking hypothyroid here.
