Hello doctor,
I notice whenever I am hooked up to a monitor. It reads a pulse on a pulsometer. My pulse is never steady. It bounces around each second and not gradually or one by one. It goes from 75, 82, 86, 92, 84, 101, and then back to 94 and 87. It bounces within a 15 to 30 beat range. Is this normal? All my heart tests say I am healthy. What should I do?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Pulse rate between 60 to 100 beats per minute is called a normal range. Pulse rate remains on the lower side during rest and sleep and on the upper side during activity, fear, fever, etc. During exercise, it may go well beyond 100 beats per minute. Monitors are machines. These are not error-free. For confirmation of your pulse rate, the best way is to count your pulse for one full minute. If it is within the range of 60 to 100 beats per minute, it is perfectly normal.
