Geez, fancy term for being alive and well!
Don't have access to a blood pressure monitor.
Sitting here at the 'puter checked my my pulse: 48bpm. Can hardly wait 'til I get older as I'll be only 76 next month.

Slower than average heart rates are normal in people who are physically fit and people who are sleeping. Many athletes who train regularly have resting heart rates of 40 to 60 beats per minute.
Some athletes have a resting heart rate below 30.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bradycardia ICD-10 R00.1
ICD-9 427.81, 659.7, 785.9, 779.81
Bradycardia, as applied to adult medicine, is defined as a resting heart rate of under 60 beats per minute, though it is seldom symptomatic until the rate drops below 50 beat/min. [1] [2] Trained athletes or young healthy individuals may also have a slow resting heart rate. Resting bradycardia is often considered normal if the individual has no other symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, chest discomfort, palpitations or shortness of breath associated with it.
The term relative bradycardia is used to explain a heart rate that, while not technically below 60 beats per minute, is considered too slow for the individual's current medical condition.[/QUOTE]

Hmmm. 106/72. Usually runs slightly higher.
I'm taking Amlodipine to keep it under 130/80 as I have only 1 kidney.
Sitting heart rate 65.

Just having a pulse is enough for me most days.

And some well trained athletes have resting HR in the 30's! While below 60 might technically be brady, it is a good thing to have it low, so long as you don't have any symptoms.
Having spent some time in hospitals hooked up to monitors, I know it gets people really excited when it dips down below 40. My history was a really, really low resting HR, but totally asymptomatic. I had a problem with atrial fibrillation and got checked into the hospital 3 different times because of the afib, until I figured out it was a mistake to go to the hospital. Typically, after my afib stopped, they would keep the meds going for a while and my resting HR when I was sleeping would get to around 35; with none of their stupid meds, it was usually in the 42 to 45 range, but the afib meds slowed it down.
Some really cool alarms go off when that happens, by the way!
Not to mention that I had open heart surgery to replace a deformed valve, fix an aneurisme and to treat the afib as a throw in. During a little minor complication, a week after the surgery, I went into afib again (which was expected) and the local hospital gave me the med they apparently give all afib patients, ignoring the meds I was on from recent open heart surgery. My heart stopped 4 or 5 times over a several hour period until their meds got out of my system. If you really want to see hospital folks get excited, let your heart stop! The stops were only for 4 or 5 seconds, and then it would start up again. Nontheless, it was quite exciting for them. For me, I just came close to passing out, at which point it started again.
The story has a happy ending. Less then 1.5 year after surgery, I'm riding 400 to 500 miles a month, taking no meds, and feeling great. No afib issues, no deformed valve (I have a cow valve) and no aneurism. Life is good, God is great!

I guess my vote will skew those results.
BP 105/65, pulse usually over 70....except when I first wake up.
No meds, no medical conditions.

Kind of a newbie here. Been lurking for a long time but just recently joined. 59 YO, 6 feet, two inches, 240 pounds, BP average 114/75, resting pulse hovers around 59-60. Used to be better. Quite the opposite of a fine wine.

My BP just measured 100/71. I don't take BP meds. My resting pulse when I wake up in the morning is high 40s or low 50s, but it is in the mid-upper 60s right now because I went for a 33 mile ride this morning and it was pretty warm here in southern cal.
Question for anyone with cardio knowledge. I wear a basic Polar heart rate monitor once in a while, and I used it today. My average HR for today's ride was 128. This was an easy pace ride, but included some moderate hills. On the hills I watched my HR climb into the 140s, and topped out at 151 or 152 going over the crest of the hills. However when I finished the ride and looked at the max rate for this ride, it shows a max of 244, not 151 or 152. I am guessing that my heart is occasionally "fluttering" or jumping a beat that the HR monitor picks up and counts as the max rate. However I have not seen that high number appear on my HR monitor watch. I don't stare at the HR monitor while using it, I just glance at it once in a while mainly on the uphills.

Your HRM might be a bit defective or interference from electrical wires or energy fields, or, you could have a brief period of "whatever."
Personally, I would just keep an eye on things for now.
If it keeps up, I would suggest a consult.
