[Guest guest]

C- i took mine today and I was at 176 which is way above the 160 max

for my age... let me know if you find out any info... thanks

My max is supposed to be 189, but unless I am just

plain inaccurate, mine is 200-210. My husband says it

should be fine as long as I recover quick. I am

hoping someone can give me some insight on it. I will

try to look some info up myself later on today and I

will let you know if I come up with anything.

and I will ask the trainer. K

How does the bike measure your heart rate without hooking it up? Is

it on the handles? If the bike tells you something different than

your own count (with your fingers on your neck) I would go with your

own count. After all, machines at the gym are not always in perfect

working order. I am amazed though that you can get your heart rate

up as high on the bike as you can on the treadmill. I run and when

I'm done my heart rate is anywhere between 180-190. On the bike

(which I hate) it never gets above 150 or 160.

,

Maybe it doesn't get as high on the bike as the treadmill, I just

know I am equally worn. Also I do a fairly high resistance so I

think that helps.

Ok I checked out this site

I already knew my palse (76) & my max hr (185)

But I don't understand the low end (130) or the high end (168)

Anything over 120 bpm is considered too fast for an adult. For instance, my

normal pulse is 60-61. Obie.

Can someone post how to calculate a persons maximum heart rate. From there

I can

determine at what percent of max rate I am exigencies.

[Guest guest]

Gosh you are

a slow poke

compared to

me. My normal

is in the 80s.

My vitals so far

this month

average

170/88/81

170/88/81

Why did my post suddenly format itself like the above. A 2*3 inch box.

Anyhow my pressures stay good when exercising and the heart rate for a 2 minute

brisk

walk on my treadmill averages 103 with highs in the mid 1teens. So far today I

made nine

such walks. I want to get up to a mile per day. That would require me to

double today.

Several neat formulas exist for doing this. Of course they will not work

for everyone.

Possibly you have seen the old standards that have been around of

years. I think they are pretty close for anyone that does not have a

serious problem related to heart and circulation.

There are....... ( going from memory, not copying this from any source )

Teenagers 200

20 to 30 years 190

30 to 40 years 180

40 to 50 years 170

50 to 60 years 160

60 and up ............ 150 or less, or any thing you can get out of the

old engine. This one includes me.

As we get older, it is harder to get the heart up to speed. Often it can

take 15 to 35 minutes on the treadmill for my heart to reach maximum

accelerated rate.

When I was 30 years plus, I could force a rate of 200 and over, which is

suggested for teenagers.

I think what you really wanted is the formula that allows you to calculate

what it should be. You do a few exercises, and work the numbers.

Still, if you have no problems and simply work regularly at the

acceleration, the results will be real and apply to you.

The " at rest rate " should be about 1/3 of the accelerated rate. ( 60 and

180 ) Again, this is for a healthy and conditioned heart.

A poorly conditions or ailing heart cannot comply with the rules that man

has written.

Let me know of anything you learn.

My heartrate is mid 70's though some activities can get it much higher.

The highest it has ever been was 189 when I was being intubated for my

c-section. o2 is always 98 or 99 and I use no oxygen or vent (CPAP to sleep.)

thanks... mine used to be 50's-90 so i dont think my 120's lately is

normal... now if i can get my idiot doctor to do what i say!

if you sleep with no c-pap does it go up? i have no headaches and sleep ok

but my heart wakes me up and my o2 are mid and upper 90's....97, 98.... so its

just odd and my drs disagree

I haven't slept without CPAP in probably 8 years. When I used to take a cat

nap w/o it, I'd have to be positioned just so in order not to aspirate, but I

don't think it went up.

My heart rate is usually anywhere from 80-120 per minute and my lungs are at

38%.

[Guest guest]

Yes, clearly there are some people with cardiac involvement, but I don't think

all of us, or even most of us.

My point is that you don't have to exercise hard to get benefit. For some

people, 120 or even 100 pulse rate may be enough to help them. And I think we

tend to think we need to work harder than we really need to. In fact this

article I was reading said that even a healthy person who hasn't exercised in a

while should start at only 100 or 110 for a number of weeks.

Remember, I don't know if exercise helps or hurts. I accepted the common wisdom

that it hurts so I didn't test it too much. But it is possible that it only

hurts some people, or some types of exercise, or certain exercises or intensity

levels. What is undisputable is that in healthy people even mild exercise is

good for the immune system, lymph system, cardio, etc. So if I were sick again

I would get a heart rate monitor and try to walk slow for 5 or 10 minutes,

keeping my pulse under 100 (my resting pulse is in the 80's.) Then see what

happened. See if I felt better or worse.

One of the reasons I accepted the common wisdom is because I got so exhausted

just trying to shop a little, or going out to dinner. But standing is harder

than walking, I think especially for PWC's with low blood volume/bad

circulation. And going out to dinner with friends is mentally exhausting, not

to mention whatever you might be eating you aren't used to (such as msg which

seems to be in everything these days.) I think slow walking is easier than

those activities.

I personally was already significantly improved before I started walking, so I

don't think that caused the improvement in any way. But it is interesting that

both times I went into remission I became addicted to exercise as I was

improving (as I was going into the remission). I'm not usually that way, and

it's not like I forced myself to do it because I thought it would be good for

me. It just sounded good. Not sure what that means.

Again the main point is that if someone wants to *try* exercise, I would get a

heart rate monitor and make sure your pulse stays low. The exercise should be

relatively easy, you should be able to talk easilly, etc.

Noticed a comment about heart rate at 140 being low for exercise - not

for me. I understand women tend to have faster heart rate than men -

however if my rate goes above 90 - I'm in trouble.

During my Persantine cardiolite test in April [ this is test

recommended for PWC's instead of treadmill ] I showed arythmias at 96

beats/minute. They had to stop the test.

[Guest guest]

Yep, it was me. And nope, I'm not on any medications at all except birth control. I do take some vitamins on most days when I remember it. I do know I have high blood pressure at times but have never had medications for it. I did fool around yesterday on the treadmill and I found a little trick that gets my heart rate up. Most of the time when i walk on the treadmill I hold onto the handlebars. Well.....I noticed that if I turn loose of the handles and walk "freestyle" my heartrate immediately goes up. I walk like that a few minutes then return with my hands on the bars. After a few minutes my rate will start to go back down. I just repeat the process. Yesterday it seemed to work like that several times. maybe it was a fluke but I'll test it out again today and see. I used to couldn't walk at all on it without holding the bars because I would get off balanced. Now I can for short periods. I think my balance has gotten better since I've been exercising. I still find myself having to grab for them occassionly. Thanks for telling me about this though as I would have never thought of medicine having that effect. I may need this info in the future.

Hi,

, I think it was you who said you have trouble getting your heart rate up. I don't think you're on blood pressure meds but I wanted to mention that Toprol or other beta blockers will lower your heart rate. If anyone is on that talk to your doc about target heart rate.

Before I was on Toprol I put on the heart rate monitor on the treadmill and realized my resting heart rate was way too high so I mentioned it to the doc and got on Toprol to lower bp and heart rate. When I was on Toprol it was very difficult to get my heart rate up when using the treadmill so I just didn't worry about it. Now I'm off Toprol thanks to losing some weight.

Low K in blood or heart. arrythmia is an irregular heart beat. you may have what is called sinus arrythmia but this is almost normal as it is common. Low K can ppt aggravate many different kinds of ARRHY. EKG may also show so called u waves as I recall.

Dr. Grim, can PA cause sinus tachycardia? My heart rate was all over the place,

usually around 120 just standing up, went higher as seen on the holter. My

cardio thought I had the tachycardia because of mono a few months back (which, I

don't think I even had, I had it when I was younger and think it was still in my

system causing a positive blood test) Because I feel exactly the way I do now as

when I got diagnosed with mono the second time, so I really think it's PA.

Thank you

Hi all,

just a quick question, do people always have a low heart rate when hypo? Because

mine isnt that low average 83 bpm. I`m not on any medication or havent had a

diagnosis as of yet, i`ve got my first Endo appointment with a Prof at " The big

hospital " in Cambridge on the 27th March (It cant come quick enough!)I`m hoping

that i get taken seriously and get treated.

Many thanks

Caz, are you taking Magnesium citrate 500mcgs for to help calm

your heart beat?

I stopped smoking though). Ray Peat said hypothyroid people produce more

adrenaline

Thankyou for that Chris.

I`m just worried that if i do go on medication, it will make

my heart faster, i already get palpitations, i worry about things like that.
