Hi guys

I was just wondering what everyone's resting heart rate is. Would be interesting to see how large the range is.. And maybe also how much your HR drops when you are diving or breath holding. So please share your numbers..

About 6 months ago my RHR was around 62. Then I started cycling and now it is 48. I can lower my heart rate to 37 when breath holding.

Looking forward to hear your numbers.
Cheers
Mozzie

47 before start diving, a year later 43 before coffee. Not sure if it's good or bad. I get lightheaded when standing quick before eat, or working in the heat. I think my blood pressure is alright, about 100/60. I don't excercise.
 
I'm new to freediving, currently stay in the shallows less than 25' until I progress safely with more courses.

RHR 52, NormalHR 77 (daytime, driving, errands, walking)
Blood pressure usually 100/70
FreediveHR: 55
 
I just had a fever yesterday and my heart rate was about 100 for the whole day. Today the fever subsided, the heart dropped to 60 (normally it's about 38-40). Then I tried some apnea and felt so bad. It got me thinking that heart rate (measured after wake up) is an indicator of body condition, if it's a lot higher than the normal, something is not right, apnea performance may not be so good on that day.
