I have had every test in the book, heart is fine, but since I quit smoking my heart rate has been about 45-60...is that o.k.?

Just worried...doc's say not to worry about it...

Hi, I have read and read about heart conditions and pulse rates for about a year now. I was convinced my heart rate was not what it was supposed to be. If beat too fast I freaked or too slow I freaked! I was never happy with it! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/round.gif The normal is between 60-100 beats per minute. However I have read a lot of other peoples stories on other sites like www.medhelp.com (http://www.medhelp.com) and some peoples can drop below 60 and they are ok. I think as long as you feel ok then you probably are ok. I am no doctor by any means though so if you are concerned about it have it checked out. I did and there is nothing wrong with me...but I had to have peace of mind. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif
