Thx

    Hey lee, I know the feeling you're so used to these bad feelings and then once you're okay its abnormal for you but from what I know that's not a bad rate especially if you're a fit person.

    Hey Lee,

    60 to 68 seems very normal.

    Could you clarify what you're asking?

      I'm sure it varies for people with anxiety, but 60-68 seems fine in my opinion.

      Do you have a therapist or a counsellor or someone who is trained to help?

    Hi lee, I'm a nurse and I can confidently tell you that normal resting heart rate is different for each individual but anywhere between 60-80 is fine. I've seen patients with a heart rate of 46 and they're fine!
