Thanks for your answer btw. I had pain in my heart & I was curious if it wasn't healthy or something.

Answer 1

Your heart rate of 83 is great. Normal resting heart rate for your age is 60-100 beats per minute.

Below is the proper way to check your pulse, also please refer to links below.

1. You can easily check your pulse on the inside of your wrist, below your thumb.

2. Gently place 2 fingers of your other hand on this artery.
Do not use your thumb because it has its own pulse that you may feel.

3. Count the beats for 30 seconds; then multiple X 2 the result to get the number of beats per minute.
