what is normal bpm

A normal resting heart rate, also known as pulse rate, for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. However, the range for most healthy adults is between 55 and 85 beats per minute. Other factors such as stress, anxiety, hormones, medication, and physical activity level can affect your resting heart rate. To get the most accurate reading, put your finger over your pulse and count the number of beats in 60 seconds.
