Detailed explanation-1: -Your pulse rate, also known as your heart rate, is the number of times your heart beats per minute. A normal resting heart rate should be between 60 to 100 beats per minute, but it can vary from minute to minute.
Detailed explanation-2: -A resting pulse rate of 120 BPM in adults would be considered high, while a heart rate between 60 beats per minute (BPM) and 100 BPM is normal for people 15 years and older. The pulse rate, also called your heart rate, is the number of times the heartbeats per minute (BPM).
Detailed explanation-3: -Tachycardia (tak-ih-KAHR-dee-uh) is the medical term for a heart rate over 100 beats a minute. Many types of irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) can cause tachycardia. A fast heart rate isn’t always a concern. For instance, the heart rate typically rises during exercise or as a response to stress.
