What is an average resting heart rate for women?

I just got my resting heart rate taken at one of those blood pressure machines at Albertsons, and it was 102 bpm. Is this too high? What is a good range for resting heart rate for women?

Answer #1

But I run for at least 20 minutes every day. I don’t think I’m unfit?

Answer #2

It could mean that you are just very unfit or have a heart condition. Mine is higher when I am resting because I have asthma and am unfit.

In any case before starting any strenuous exercise get yourself checked out by a doctor.

Answer #3

P.s. I don’t know if it makes a difference, but I’m 5 foot 6 inches tall, and 115 pounds.

Answer #4

so um…what should I do about my 102? Is that putting me at risk for anything? Or is it alright to have a high heart rate?

Answer #5

Do you maybe have low blood pressure? That could be another reason.

In any case, get it checked out by your doctor.
