Adults have normal resting heart rates between 60 and 100 beats per minute.

Your resting heart rate may indicate a problem if it deviates from these parameters and becomes excessively high or low.

When your heart rate is particularly high at rest—over 100 bpm—you have tachycardia.

This condition occurs when your resting heart rate is unusually low, below 60 beats per minute.
