hello

hope everyone is well, can anyone tell me what’s the ideal pulse rate for a 41 year old female please,

I also have anxiety

thanks in advance 😌

That depends on an individual person. Normal is 60-100 but athletes can have a resting heart rate around 50. This might be something to speak to your Dr about.

As Christory77 says 60-100 is the range of normal but doctors now say around 70 is ideal. Some meds you can be taking for other reasons can slow the heart rate like beta blockers.

I agree 60 to 100 is normal. Have you got a fitness watch. When I first got mine I was interested in my heart rate but it was high then low and I was getting worried. Like you I have anxiety and it made it worse so now if I track a walk I just look at the average heart rate which is normally about 100 or just over, which is ok if I am on a brisk walk
