Someone call an ambulance, I can't find mine and death may be imminent??

*gasping in order to make pulse easier to gauge*

i haf BRADYCRADIA with a pulse of around 49. it's not serious, tho, but sometimes i feel lightheaded, about to faint. I do not tolerate stimulants such as coffee very well.

Dubya has a pulse around 40, which makes him prone to loss of consciousness as well (pretzel incident).

I used to have a rest pulse that low but I'm so unfit right now.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 10 March 2003 15:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Apparently it's normal (or so the nurse said) but this still hasn't stopped my paranoia about having a to quick heart-rate. I get the fear when I can feel my heart-rate too much, the little essence of life is so close to your thumb and argha rghrha rgahrhr. Gug gug gug.

55. Still alive but only just - that's slow for a girl, innit?

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 10 March 2003 15:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I can't take my pulse. I am so rubbish and squeamish that when I put my fingers over my pulse the thought of the blood going gloop gloop through my veins makes me feel sick and dizzy and faint and I have to stop. I have very low blood pressure if that helps.

― Emma, Monday, 10 March 2003 15:10 (twenty-three years ago)

I believe a resting heart beat of more than 100, consistently, is a fairly dangerous situation.

Mine is sometimes around 73. Never any lower than that. Between 50 and 60 is typical for an athlete or someone in really terrific shape. I'm neither. When I'm stressed out it goes to around 90 or so. I get paranoid about it too.

66, better than I thought it would be.

What manner of playing with dolls keeps your pulse low mark?

Thousands cheered as you appeared
The band was playing
We drove away that Saturday
I wanted you, knew where you were staying
Backstage lied about my age
Didn't care that you were older

Stop look listen to my heartbeat
Stop look listen to my heartbeat

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:23 (twenty-three years ago)

64. Mine beats likea fuckign GONG - Emma loves it 'cos you can see it reverberating round my entire body and she finds the spectre of my imminent death from a burst heart amusing.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:29 (twenty-three years ago)

You are *so* not talking about Emma, the cake lover. You'd put her off her biscuits!

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:30 (twenty-three years ago)

28.

the thought of the blood going gloop gloop through my veins makes me feel sick

Me too, Emma.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Why is everyone so horribly HEALTHY? I need to hear from someone with a resting beat of, say, 85, so I don't feel like mine's the fastest ever...

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't worry, Christine. Mine is 75 and I'm a former world record holder for 1500m.

― Jim Ryun (MichaelJ), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Nah, I mean Emma-the-Nick-lover.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Mines about 64, but I did just run up the stairs.

You're not Sebastian Coe in disguise, are you? I was just gonna ask what William Hague is doing these days...

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:41 (twenty-three years ago)

Steve Cram! Where's he??

― Lara (Lara), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:42 (twenty-three years ago)

hehe! It was only one flight of stairs! I don't think I'm counting right anwyay, I can only find my pulse in my neck, as I'm such a hypo that I don't wanna press on my wrists too hard.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:52 (twenty-three years ago)

I only have one when I'm on speed. At school the nurse couldn't find it. Although when I had my blood pressure taken recently I had high blood pressure but I put this down to the fact that the doctor had put the armband thing on so tight my hand went purple and it left marks for a few days.

― alix (alix), Monday, 10 March 2003 16:54 (twenty-three years ago)

But hey...

Steve Ovett! I LOVE YOU!!

78. Time to cut down on the Fray Bentos, huh?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 10 March 2003 17:32 (twenty-three years ago)

78 is okay, though. It's just there are too many people on here with distressingly Olympian standards of health. :)

― ChristineSH (chrissie1068), Monday, 10 March 2003 17:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I've always had a low pulse. I certainly am not healthy at the moment. Too much degree aiding comfort food, to little time for exercise.

― Ed (dali), Monday, 10 March 2003 17:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Mine has always been higher. When I was about 20, I think it was around 82, so it's actually lower now... on the very rare occasions I'm feeling calm, anyway.

I was told that (within reason) your resting pulse isn't very important - it's the speed at which you return to it that's the indicator of fitness.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 04:05 (twenty-three years ago)

(mine is 89, which is why I hope this is true)

I can never get mine from my wrist - I have to use my neck.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 04:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Strange But True Dept.:

My pulse is actually quite visible on my inside foot just below the ankle bone. Always has been. Nowhere else, though.

Am I completely unique in this?

A friend of mine used to find it endlessly entertaining, and was certain it meant I was either part lizard or some kind of alien...

72... with an arrhythmia

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 14:29 (twenty-three years ago)

broken beats

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 14:31 (twenty-three years ago)

N is right--The fluctuation of heart rate in response to activity indicates yr level of health/fitness much better than resting pulse.
