All you need to do is check your pulse a various times of the day and write that number down. You pulse will vary depending on what you are doing such as exercise, sitting still etc. Also there is no specific pulse that is really normal as everyone is different. So long as your pulse is about the 50's you are fine.

Ok, first of all, there are no calculators, you just take your pulse. Secondly, a slow heart rate is NOT a disease... and it's rarely serious. There are many types of dysrhythmias (odd heartbeats) and several have to do with slow heart rates. The only way to know for sure is to have an EKG, which is a non invasive, not at all painful way for them to track the electricity in your heart. Heres a test you can do on your own: Put your forefinger and middle finger on your wrist, between the bones until you can feel a little thud...that's your pulse. Find a clock that has a second hand (hand that count the seconds) start counting the thuds, count them for 60 seconds. That's how many times your heart beats in one minute. If it's between like 60-80 it's considered normal, if it's not, well, then, it's not 'normal' but that doesn't always mean anything. Usually, a slow heart rate is only a problem if you feel dizzy or you faint or your blood pressure is too low or your tired all the time. If you want to know more about it, E-Mail me
