Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Val said yesterday that with a pulse in the low 60's, I'm still very hypo. At doctors' offices I've always been told that my pulse in the 60's was a very healthy thing--that I have the resting pulse of an athlete, although I'm far from being an athlete. It's been like this for many years. I just turned 63. What would a healthy, non-hypo pulse be for me? Peggy .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 AT your age I would look for 80-85 for a normal pulse. Yeah I was told I had an Athlete's Pulse as well when I weighed 245 pounds and had a pulse of 50 in my 40's. If you are TRULY athletic it is normal ot have a lower pulse, but 99% of us wiht low thyroid are FAR from fit. -- http://nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Okay, thanks--now I have something to shoot for. The question is how to shoot for it. I've read on the adrenals group that drinking water with Celtic salt twice a day is good for the adrenals. But it can also lower pulse. So is drinking salt water something I should be doing or something I should be avoiding? And will my pulse go up to the healthier level as I become less hypothyroid?

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 The only time drinking salt water will lower pulse is if you are LOW in sodium and it corrects it. Low sodium causes high pulse so it is doubful this would happen to you. YES your pulse is caused by hypothyroid and will come up to a more normal levels as you bring your T3 levles up. -- http://nthadrenalsweb.org/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
