Resting heart rate

Magnum · Jun 24, 2006

Just wondered if any of you guys ever took your resting heart rate. I think it gives a decent indication about the amount of strain your heart might be under. Mine was 64 just now. My BP is usually pretty decent too. 135/75.

yes I have.... awhile ago I went to the dr and my RHR was around 140. they asked me if i was having chest pains as they thought I was about to have a heart attack and did A LOT of test on me. I was being monitored for several weeks. my BP was through the roof as well.

all is cleared up now thank god.

I'm curious, do you get your blood pressure tested the conventional way or do you have one at home like this: http://www.drugstore.com/products/p...=51648&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY-PLST-0-SEARCH

My resting heart rate is 72 (about 2 hours post workout)
