Can Your Pulse Rate Tell How Long You'll Live?

Car seat kid !!

Nope! Scripture is clear! “The power of life and death are in my tongue”!!!!
So I will speak my health everyday!

During the day my heart rate sits between 75 - 80...when I'm ready to sleep, drops to low 60s 50.

Where does your resting bpm sit doc?

everyone needs more sleep. problem for me is the wife makes fun of me if i take a nap during the day. typical line is "your in bed again?" i just ignore her, i know my health is more important.

I couldn't sleep 9 hours if I tried.

I was having really bad heart arrythmias and some were audible and painful after jogging.
Eveytime i went to the hospital i realized my potassium was low normal. Drs said it was fine. Not 4 me. Nurses would say they see symptomatic people in the 3s all the time. Drs would brush me off. I was in the 3.8, 3.6, 3.2. The lower the worse my palps. Id get pale and instant fatigue. Usually about 2hrs later. I would also have BAD recovery time for my heart rate. It would stay above a 100 laying down and spike to 130 when i get and walk around for hours!!!! One time i finshed running at 7pm and it didnt go down till 2-3 in the a.m.!😢
As long as i dont push myself and MAKE SURE I EAT MY BANANAS daily i seem fine. Oh yeah and i was drinking RO water which furter depleted my minerals and vitamins! Filtered and one a day vitamin is really restoring my health.
Hey Dr can comsider CARDIAC BRIDGES OF THE ARTERIES i have a deep complete bridge of the LAD. I know you like working on stuff not talked about but exist aNd think youll like that one.
Only a handfull of cardiologist take it serious and large amount of society have them.
Thx 4 all u do

My resting hr is literally 137 what do i do

we all gonna die .. how about that??

45 is bradycardia a serious condition! 50 is baseline minimum. Athletes need good blood flow to provide oxygen to muscles. It’s a balance and rates in the 60 s are a good balance.

6 months of zone 2/4 cycling brought my rhr down from 61 to just 45

What if my heart rate is in the high 30's?(Which it is)..good or bad?

Like the other reply,
Sleeping 9 hours would be very hard for me to do.
I enjoyed your video

"My Heart Will Go On" - Celine Dion, 1997

You rock Berg!!! ; )

Mine is 63 and at times lower if I exercise or move a lot. 60 not taking med.

So just by diet and exercise one can lower their Bpm...alongside stress reduction

At the age of 75 my BPM is anywhere from 40 to 50 and has been that for the last 15 yr's. As a #2 diabetic for the last 30 yr's I'm sure my regiment of diet and exercise has been the biggest factor. Two mile hike in the woods with my dog 365 days a year and keeping to a heart smart diet and I'll be good to go unless I get thrown under a bus :)

Thank you for informing us that this is important to pay attention to. I love salt so my heart rate is higher than it should be , but I am going to fix that now by adding potassium and b1. My husband who doesn't add as much salt and who has a resting heart rate of 40, drinks water and pees all day long but is always cold, teases me that he is definitely going to die last. I need potassium, d3 + k2, and probably several other things. I must have a B1 deficiency based on all the signs on those other videos too.
Question why don't I have thirst...oh I am sure you have several videos on that.
I think my husband pees all day because he need mineral in the celtic salt but he wouldn't want to raise his heart rate LOL!

lol i don't wanna die quickly 😢

65 years old resting heart rate 46 bpm

Im sitting at 35 to 41 resting heart rate when fully relaxed

I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia and my resting heart rate goes to 187 if I don't take my meds.

My Resting HR always between 48 to 50

I’m 78 and exercise with weights and cardio , lots of hiking . Problem is I’ve got afib due to leaky heart valves . I have a 45 + ejection fraction so Im not a candidate for a valve replacement yet and it has been the same for at least 15 years. My average resting is around 68-73 , before the afib it was in the 40’s . Not sure what I can do but maybe lower my carb intake even though there heathy carbs if there is such a thing 🤔

Not in my case. I exercised a lot (bicycle racing which entailed 15 hours and 350 kms a week) and had a resting heart rate in the evening of 48 bpm. I went to the doctor one day because of acute breathlessnesses to learn I had blocked coronary arteries which required bypass surgery. Testing revealed I had Hypercholesterolemia (genetic high cholesterol). What you have suggested about the correlation of life expectancy and resting pulse rate is very flakey at best.

Only god knows how long you live my friend

I've got a resting heart rate in the mid 40s and I'm definitely not a well trained athlete as I also have stage 2 hypertension and graves disease but I do walk an average of 10,000 steps per day, get plenty of sleep and take daily multivitamins and omega 3 fish oil.

You are the one that I learned intermittent fasting from thank you

We are all going to die.

This video depressed me…I thought I was healthy but now have learned I’m not.

Most athletes don't live that long, reason? many have an enlarged heart from their fitness regimen slower metabolism (pulse rate)by aerobics and diet lifestyle is optimal

I thought you wanted your pulse rate to be at least 60, not lower, bradycardia?

I’m 57 and my resting heart rate is 45/48. I cycle 3x a week vigorously and walk 3km three times a week. Most ppl do not take health seriously, food and exercise should be your primary weekly objective.

Thanks dr berg!

I have "Bradycardia" not induced by medications.
And I thought it was bad!!!! I lost 100 lb, have good exercise tolerance.
My fasting insulin 6, fasting glucose is 90. My HOMA IR is 1.4, HbA1c is between 4.8 and 5.1.

42 y/o male here, obese and pre diabetic. RHR 45-58.
I wasnt into this monitor your heart rate stuff until i was in my regular checkup and the nurse was worry about my low rate. Otherwise i feel fine and exercise randomly.

Any symptoms?

My mother HR was 49 after 1 week her HR was 55
It usually between 50-60
Is it serious?

I ordered your electrolytes and it says to talk to a Dr before consuming if you have a low pulse rate but you’re saying here that’s a good thing? I think I’m confused somewhere

I am 68. My heart rate in the morning is 47. I was worrying about it a lot. I have skip beat, At least after this video I will stop worrying about low heart beat. Thank you for this video.

30 hr fast will bring you resting hr way down mine about 10-15 beats

A lot of of us don’t have the luxury to sleep 8 to 9 hours as we have to commute more hours work long hours and take care of family obligations

My heart beat has always been low. It did worry me as I wasn't that fit. As a kid I was a good athlete but put on weight in my 20's but got a hand on that mostly now. But doesn't matter what my fitness levels are, my heart rate remained roughly the same. I've seen it below 40 but generally its around 50 and during sleep can drop to 44. But there is no heart disease history in my family. So its nice to know that my chances of premature death is lower because of my slow heartbeat.

Logically, the lowest the pulse rate, the longer one live. The dead people with 0 heart rate, but still dead... 😅😂

I am 79 years old. My Normal BP is 110/70 and Heart rate of 50-55 BPM. I normally wal 2-10 mies a day. I never feel tired or shortness of breath. But my eyesight is getting worse. My HK Doctor thinks it is due to a low heart rate. What are your thoughts on this?

you are awesome! Dr Berg, no seriously

Have had a tachy problem for over 10 years. Taking Metoprolol to help but it's doing a poor job these last few years. I have frequent PVCs and SVTs which make it more aggravating and sometimes a bit frightening. Recently began having intermittent blood pressure issues which make it hard to treat. Oddly enough none of my Cardiologists seem to know what's causing any of it. I'm 5'10 and keep my weight below 180 from diet alone. I've recently decided to begin D-Ribose because I also suffer from Chronic Fatigue.

What isn't that backwards?.

My blood pressure is perfect but my rhr is around 90 laying on my bed. Dont smoke or drink, exercise regularly, mountain biking and weight lifting. 🙃

Last year, at the peak of my fitness once in the morning I found that my Apple Watch sent me a warning that my heart rate went down to a low of 38 / min at night. That absolutely scared me and I thought I should take it easy on the fitness thingie..
Otherwise it’s 60-64/ min resting… ❤
