What Does Your Heart Rate Really Tell You About Yourself?

I used to think it tells you how fit or unfit your body is, however:
Six years ago, I was an overweight teenager with a heart rate of 90 bpm. Ten minutes ago, I was still overweight, still looked the same, still weighed the same (maybe just a couple inches taller), and yet my heart rate was 76-77 bpm (I double-checked).
Does anyone know enough biology to give me an explanation as to why/how this happened? I can’t remember doing anything that would lower my heart rate by that much.

  1. When resting, the adult human heart beats at about 70 bpm (males) and 75 bpm (females), but this rate varies between people. However, the reference range is nominally between 60 bpm (if less termed bradycardia) and 100 bpm (if greater, termed tachycardia). Resting heart rates can be significantly lower in athletes, and significantly higher in the obese. The infant/neonatal rate of heartbeat is around 130-150 bpm, the toddler’s about 100-130 bpm, the older child’s about 90-110 bpm, and the adolescent’s about 80-100bpm
    The body can increase the heart rate in response to a wide variety of conditions in order to increase the cardiac output (the amount of blood ejected by the heart per unit time). Exercise, environmental stressors or psychological stress can cause the heart rate to increase above the resting rate.

  2. If you have a heartbeat, you’re still alive. If you don’t, you aren’t. Have you checked recently?

  3. your heart rate does tell you if ur in shape or not
    but it also depends on when you take your heart rate
    if you took it when you were sick then ur heart would have beated faster
    or when ur sleeping
    or calm
    or excited…it all really depends on what you’re feeling
    the best way to take your heart rate is when you’re sleeping
    there are heart rate monitors that take your heart rate at night with a simple wrist watch and this thing that goes over you’re adamant..that way each time you take you’re heart rate…it’ll all be when you’re sleeping which is most accurate

  4. It tells you that your crazy or sain.

  5. this is not biology, it is physiology. There are many things that cause the heart to beat faster, what you ate, what you drank etc… You can have a HR of 70 BPM but if I scare the hell out of you, your HR jumps. What mind set were you in the first time you measured your HR and what mind set were you in the next time.

  6. Heart rate could fluctuate 0-30 points in time, lot of other reason could contribute sudden change..
