Wrist Monitor Check

Wrist Monitor Check
Is my heart rate normal?

Well, both of my parents have high blood pressure so i was told by the doctor to keep an eye on mine. So i bought a Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor and began to take my pressure weekly. On the monitor it also checks the heart rate. When i started taking my pressure my heart rate was between 50 and 65, but recently i have noticed that it had begin to go up and down so i started taking it everyday. The past few days it has been between 105 and 115. I don’t know why it could have gone up so much so soon because im not overweight and i haven’t been stressing. Is it ok for it to go up that much?

You need to have been sitting quietly, not talking, no activity for 10 minutes before you believe any number that comes up on these machines. And, if you drink soda or any product that has caffeine in it, it will also elevate your heart rate. Continue to monitor your heart rate but only when you have been quiet for the required period of time.
