What is the best way to lower your pulse rate?

Question

My pulse is at 110 at rest. I am not overweight, 6' 1" at 187 at 41 yrs old . I have no pain. Heart disease runs in my family. Just very concerned.

FYI: I was sexual active today with no problems.

Also, I'm not breathing heavy either.

Answer 1

Cut out nicotine and caffeine (both can increase heart rate). Increase your exercise tolerance and drink plenty of fluids (are you dehydrated). Your Body Mass Index is about 25 which puts you in the 70% for your age. If you can lower your wt to 170 lbs then your body mass index would be less than 50% for your age and your risk of a heart attack would decrease.

Furthermore- you may just want to relax since stress will increase your heart rate (especially if you stress over how fast your heart is beating).

Finally since the averate heart rate for your age is about 80-90, you may want to see a Dr. to get an EKG and make sure you don't have an arrythmia.

Good luck

When you exercise, it affects your cardiorespiratory system. The better shape you're in, the better your cardiorespiratory system will be. Your pulse would also be lower at rest. The fact that it's 110, it just means that you're in pretty bad shape, my friend. All you need to do is go on a healthy diet, eating 3 square meals a day and snacks here and there, but don't overdo it. Walk at least 3 miles a day, yes, walk, walking is very good for you. Take multivitamins so it will help your body.

I have a very low pulse rate and it is due to my exercising regularly. People who play spots and engage in aerobic activities soon find that their pulse rates go down naturally. But since your pulse rate is so abnormally high I would not suggest your suddenly starting a high profile exercise program, First I would recommend that you see your doctor to see if it can be lowered by medication and his advise about starting low impact exercise program.

First, go get a check up. Take care of any problems that may be causing this. But, have you ever heard of Bio Feedback? You may be able to lower your heart rate using this technique. It is like a lie detector test. You are connected to a machine that tells you when your heart rate goes down or up. Then you do what you did when it goes down. It is really cool?
