No, because resting heart rates are lower in athletes due to this physiological hypertrophy, fibers would become misaligned in any sort of pathological myopathy giving rise to symptoms.

As I said earlier, resting blood pressure would be increased in any sort of pathological cardiomyopathy. This is physiological . The only way to know for sure is with an EKG, and BP which he can't measure.

besides, it's not tachycardia if one out of six readings was abnormal. Also there are many factors that lead to tachycardia besides hypertrophic myopathies.

OP is not going to die from this misreading.

yes athletes have lower resting HR's but when the hypertrophy is genetic and restricting of SV the decrease in HR might be obscured by constant sympathetic drive to maintain a normal BP. im not saying his BP isnt high, and im not saying its tach. familial myopathy can be exacerbated by weightlifting (or sporting) activity in youth, restrict SV, cause elevated HR and dysrhythmia, alter BP, and lead to sudden cardiac failure. im also not saying he has this, but under the assumption that his readings were chronically tachycardic then this is opened up as an option and an echo might be used to diagnose myopathy

e: i wasnt trying to diagnose i was just suggesting that as a risk if his numbers were actually accurate, in which case its something to check out

60-80 is the normal range. Below that are extremely fit individuals or people with low blood pressure etc.

Over 80 is high. Could be high blood pressure, problems with your heart, maybe a high caffeine diet etc.

Resting heart rate can be around 65-70 for me, upto slightly over 80 at parts of the day. I consider that to be a little high, so at like 110 I think you should look into it more.

Mine was 73 when i downloaded this app sitting on the toilet.

Does shitting still count as resting for the past few minutes.

95 bpm

the normal is 60-100
i guess we have a bunch of top tier athletes in here

80-100 is actually high, although the original scale was 60-100

its still normal

Jesus you're a moron
though that's average/normal, most people in this forum are going to lift and run/be in the shape. Those norm values are for sedentary populations
stop the madness

yeah my bad, everyone has 40bpm sorry.
can't believe how mad you are.
lmk hows yours? 20 ? 10?
