Question about heart rate.

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

My resting HR is 65. When I stand it raises upto 105. Then when I stand completely still it gets to 67, and when I walk around fast it gets to 85. Is this normal?

Sorry about the noob question, I will take it down. I have never monitored my heart rate responses this like and I was just concerned my standing (still) hr is almost as low as my resting when I've read it should be 15 points higher.

I am otherwise healthy.

Hi @quinlan3 Remember that everyone is an individual and that although the average person might be 15 beats higher when standing, you might not be average in this. Also resting  heart rate is not actually a simple measurement of your HR when you are sitting. Fitbit uses your HR at night to calculate resting HR, so your sitting HR should be higher than what your resting HR is measured as. The numbers you are listing sound pretty 'normal' to me, but I am not a doctor. As always, if your are concerned PLEASE speak to your doctor.
