Sports watches are all the rage at the moment. These gadgets not only tell the time, they can also help you monitor your pulse. But what exactly is a normal heart rate?

時下流行的運動手環,不僅能看時間,還有監控心跳的功能,但究竟每分鐘心跳幾下才算正常?

Your heart rate is one of the easiest ways to analyze your health. The average person, when not engaged in exercise, should have a heart beat of approximately 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm). If it is lower than this, the heart is beating too slowly and, even though a slightly slow heart rate is not overly problematic, if it goes below 40 bpm, this is indicative of an issue with a person’s cardiac conduction system.

最簡單的判讀就從心跳開始,正常人在沒有運動的情況下,心跳每分鐘約為六十到一百下,若低於六十則為心跳過緩,稍微過慢問題不大,但要是低於四十下,則代表心臟傳導系統出了問題。

On the other hand, if the heart rate is in excess of 100 bpm, one might have a sense of a rapid heart beat in the chest. It often happens that if you skip breakfast, the heart will start to beat especially fast as blood sugar levels have dipped too far by lunchtime. If, however, the heart is beating at more than 150 bpm, this really is too fast, and it could well mean cardiac arrhythmia, or even problems with the thyroid gland. If this does happen, you should seek medical attention, regardless of your normal heart rate.

另一方面,若是心跳超過一百下,就會感到心臟在胸口「砰砰砰」用力跳動的感覺,通常沒吃早餐,到了中午血糖過低就容易心跳特別快,但如果高於一百五十下
