Also is it normal for pulse rate to change throughout the day?
I notice my pulse slows down a few hours before bed.
The pulse do not beat as hard also when relaxed.
When relaxed is it normal for pulse to be more faint of lighter? harder to detect?

Hi there,
Yes, the pulse rate is changed throughout the day according to your daily activities.
It is also normal for the pulse to slow down a few hours before bed. Your body is getting prepared to sleep, gradually relaxing until falling asleep.
The more relax you are, the weaker the pulse would be and hard to detect. This is a normal process.
