Nope--not at all. Depending on body size and other factors a normal heart rate can range from 60 beats/min to 100 BPM----with variations even within those two figures. Many well trained athletes have heart beats in the low to mid 50s--and they are in peak physical condition; we call this condition "an athletic heart"......So your heart rate of 90 beats/min is nothing to be concerned about.
Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
