Is it bad that I have low pulse rate?

Question

My doctor said that it is making me feel weak. she didn't suggest what i should do to speed it up. Run? When I stop running, won't it slow down again.

Answer 1

Normal average pulse rate range is 60 to 100 per minute. The pulse some times can be a little slow due to normal reasons in some individuals especially the athletes and people who are fond of exercise. How ever there are several other reasons for low pulse rate as well. You acted very wisely to check with your doctor and should follow up with your doctor if any problems. It is always good for the body to drink plenty of fluids such as water, especially fruit juices, freshly made lemonade by squeezing the limes/lemons in a glass of water/pitcher and milk etc.,

Hope this helps answer your question and you feel better, take care.
