Resting heart rate

[Chopper the ex Copper]

:shock:

I don't have any other symptoms..

Can your heart pump it enough to get a boner?

Other measures of heart fitness are the length of time it takes to 'recover' from exercise and the maximum heart rate.

yep, but the amount of blood it takes makes me very lightheaded..

If you'd not truncated the sentence and invented your own sentence structure and punctuation in "quoting" me, you'd not sound like some mithering teenager who just wants to argue.

If you'd actually had the integrity to just simply include the sentence, you'd not need to get your panties in a bunch about anything. What I actually wrote was:-

I wouldn't worry about absolutes with your RHR so long as it's not inordinantly low or high.

And I'm not making any bold statements, or making a medical diagnosis. The OP doesn't mention any other symptoms, and all I said was "I wouldn't worry...", surely it goes without saying that anybody with true medical concerns or symptoms should seek professional medical evaluation.

Woah. Sorry champ. S'just that I didn't see the phrase 'inordinantly low or high' as actually adding anything. Inordinantly could mean anything! I mean, what's an inordinantly low or high RHR?

'Cos, you know, it might add something to the thread, like, if inordinantly low is around 30bpm, it's interesting (for cardiologists) to note that at that point yer natural cardiac pacemaker cells can kick in giving ventricular ecotopic beats. Or that a sign of a fit, healthy and trained cardiac system can include respiratory sinus arrhythmia, where your HR goes up as you breathe in and slows on expiration which might mess up your maths when you're counting your RHR.

It would do no harm at all to ask this kind of question to your GP next time you visit. They do regular health checks these days, but it pays to look into anything you have a concern about.

Being lardy does not preclude one from being extremely fit. Ask Boy George, he chased that rent boy down carrying a heavy motorcycle chain!

As far as holding up shaving mirrors to check if I am alive, that was most concerning. I discovered mirrors don't work for me, I have no idea why.

Couldn't eat the omelette the old trout produced tonight either. Way too much garlic.

I'm pretty sure that post added to nothing but your ego, but if it makes you feel better . . .

Not sure if this whole thread isn't about egos a little bit.

Is that another word for resting heart rate?

 

[FMJ]

40 BPM? Can't see that being much of a rave.

Good, you should be, sunshine.

Apology accepted, don't let it happen again.

Moving on...

S'just that I didn't see the phrase 'inordinantly low or high' as actually adding anything.

Righto. So why not leave it in, then and complete, without needing to chop it, and add your own full stop, in some apparent, yet contrived quote of my words.

That just peotic license? 'cos I'm just seeing that as spoiling for a fight. And that's fine with me, I'm your Huckleberry, I just think it's a bit desperate if the only way you can do so is to misrepresent what I wrote, then argue that canard in isolation.

Inordinantly could mean anything! I mean, what's an inordinantly low or high RHR?

How about something significantly abnormal?

How about where there's some other symptoms or concerns involved, beyond simply a low RHR?

All I said was "I wouldn't worry..." I gave the OP the credit, that he wouldn't just be asking for an internet forum cardiology diagnosis, and just wanted some reassurance, that taken in isolation, such a fairly low RHR isn't a huge worry - I took a flyer, and work with me a second on this, that the OP would consult his GP if he had true medical concerns.

'Cos, you know, it might add something to the thread,

Well so far I'm not too inclined to think you wanted to add anything to the thread. To me, it appears you just wanted to jump in, bicker with me, and the only way you could do so was to partially "quote" me, yet misrepresent it, because you got your nose put out of joint in another thread.

like, if inordinantly low is around 30bpm, it's interesting (for cardiologists) to note that at that point yer natural cardiac pacemaker cells can kick in giving ventricular ecotopic beats. Or that a sign of a fit, healthy and trained cardiac system can include respiratory sinus arrhythmia, where your HR goes up as you breathe in and slows on expiration which might mess up your maths when you're counting your RHR.

Then by all means have the courage of your convictions. How many others, here, do you think might have RHR in similar bounds to the OP, yet have no other symptoms? But OK, then, let's suggest that people who probably didn't have any true health concerns or other symptoms, otherwise, all rock up to their GPs with notes of their RHRs, and ask for a medical opinion.

There, tell them that on an internet forum, "Student Bob" sent you, I'm sure they'll understand.

Is that better?
