Davidinaz Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 My heart is always fluctuating within seconds 90, 100, 89, 94, 85, 104 Like this does anyone else's heart do this? I'm getting to where I watch pulse oximeter all the time. Quote
MomtoGiuliana Posted January 20, 2018 Report Posted January 20, 2018 Normal resting hr is 60 to 100 bpm and it is normal for heart rate to be variable as far as I understand. It would be possibly more concerning if it were not changing much. Have you been evaluated by a cardiologist/electrophysiologist? Quote
Guest alkria Posted January 25, 2018 Report Posted January 25, 2018 You will find initially when you put on a Pulse Oximeter it will vary slightly since it is estimating the value of your heart rate. The other impact on it initially causing the rises and decreases you may find to correlate with your breathing, which is something called Respiratory sinus arrhythmia (which is a totally normal feature of the body). The longer you have the pulse oximeter attached - the more accurate the reading should be. Quote
Debbie Rose Posted January 29, 2018 Report Posted January 29, 2018 Yes, that irregularly regular heart beat of respiratory rhythm is perplexing but so true for many. Quote
