The pulse rate is the number of times a person's heart beats in one minute. Normal values for the pulse rate depend on the person's age and fitness level. The pulse should be regular, meaning that the time between pulsations is the same. Some examples of normal pulse rates, in beats per minute (bpm) are as follows:
*Fetus in the mother’s womb – 140 to 150 bpm as the average
*children less than 1 year old - 100 to 160 bpm
*children between 1 and 10 years old - 70 to 120 bpm
*people more than 10 years old - 60 to 100 bpm
*trained athletes - 40 to 60 bpm
Slow pulse rates can be normal in well-trained athletes. Fast pulse rates occur normally during and after exercise.

Every one is different. If your heart rate is determined by your primary pacemaker, the rate ranges from 60-100. Most people live in the 60-80 range. But I know healthy people in the 80s and 90s. Atheltic people routinely go below 60 - even 40s and 50s. You should know what you normally run at, when you are not anxious, medicated, etc. Then compare other readings based on that.

RE:
What is considered to be the normal pulse rate?

normal heartrate for the average,healthy adult is 60-80
anything over 110 in a normal healthy adult (who has not had recent injury,illness,or exercise) is considered to be tachycardic (rapid heartbeat) and needs to be looked into by a physician
anything under 50 is considered to be bradycardic (slow heartrate) and is extremely dangerous-especially if it drops at or below the 40's range.
