Is a pulse of 42 normal?

Answer 1

If your pulse rate is 132 beats per minute and you are not doing exersice while that is happening than you should be concerned. The average adult heartbeat is 70 beats per minute. you should consult a medical professional.

Answer 2

A persons pulse rate refers to how many times (usually per minute) the human heart is beating.

Generally someones heart rate should be between 55 and 80 upon rest.

When someones pulse is below 55, this is called bradycardia (meaning slow heart rate)

Answer 3

It means that your heart is beating at a rate of 75 Beats Per Minute, which I'm guessing is while you are resting, because this would be quite low for someone who is engaging in activity.

Answer 4

It means your heart beats 42 times each minute, which is fairly low. Either you're very fit, very relaxed, on drugs or sick.

Answer 5

Unless you are very fit 42 is a very low pulse rate. Normal resting pulse is 60-80.
