1. Pulse Rate
It’s the rate per minutes at which your heart beat. It can be felt wherever an artery crosses a bone such as the wrist, the neck or either side of the windpipe, temple and the upper surface of the foot.
It can be measured by pressing lightly against the artery wall with 2 or 3 fingers, apart from the thumb as this has a pulse of its own. Count the number of beats in a set of period and multiply the correct multiple to make up 60s or count for 30s and multiply by 2.
In order to get an accurate reading, individuals must sit in a proper position, with the back on the chair, feet flat on the floor, relaxed and still.
The pulse rate is usually 60-80 beats per minute. However, it may increase or decrease with exercise or illness. The normal pulse for healthy adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute.
