Is Resting Rate Of 85-91 Normal?
My resting rate is around 85 - 91 bpm without any exertion. My blood pressure is normal. Is this normal or should I be concerned. I do drink alot of caffeine during the day and I'm about 20 pounds over my target weight. I'm 47 years old. I take .112 mg synthroid. I'm 5'8 weigh 180 lbs. Thanks!

Hello,
It's in normal range per se, although on a higher side. No need to worry. Try to cut down your caffeine intake which increases heart rate and also get your tsh test. If TSH is low then needs to decrease thyroxine dose, which also cause increased heart rate. Also get your hemoglobin tested.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
