Re: Pulse rate fitness test..
I'm glad I read this post as it's prompted me to remember to take my Co-Enzyme Q10 tablets, which I've been forgetting again!
Trying to find a pulse is always difficult for me - doctor's have also said trying to find a vein to inject anything in my arm or get a blood sample is difficult too.
Just out of interest, I measured mine.
I seem to have a weird rhythm at the moment were I get to about the fifth beat and skip one then I'm OK.
After another few beats I miss one again.
For that reason, after trying
several times I have found my resting rate to be between 78 and 82 bpm.
When I had my accident a few weeks ago my pulse was recoded as high about 30 minutes after but in the hospital the triage nurse said it was fine but didn't tell me what it actually was!
I have to take Statins and I've been taking Co-enzyme Q10 for several years too to supplement natural reductions we get in how much we actually produce but also because Statins are known to inhibit Co-enzyme Q10 production.
I'm a little bit concerned about this skipped beats - just checked and it's still the same - but the NHS site says there is no treatment for that and it is in fact, quite common!
I feel fine but I have put on a bit of weight so maybe that's all it is. stevmk2
