lak May 2012 1:03pm, 7 May 2012 94 posts	0 lak My resting heart rate is 42. It falls with sedation to lower levels the record is 20 something , anaesthetist told me he was scared by that! Usually sedation sends it to 35. I had to take steroids for a year. Weird I could not raise my heart rate while running- before steroids would run along happily at 165 for a couple of hours on sterioids max heart 120! Stopping steroids very hard stopped finally in Oct 2011 running heart rate is just starting to be about 160. My resting pulse remained 42 through out except when ill when it climbed to 48.

Liliaicha Jan 2013 7:50pm, 18 Jan 2013 8,282 posts	0 Liliaicha I remember being disappointed that my RHR is about 63, being a fairly fit ultra runner, size 8, BMI 18. My stepdad thought is was hilarious that he is very overweight and very unfit and has a RHR of 45. The doesn't seem to be any consistency with the numbers at all.
