Due to various factors, in particular, hormonal disruptions, chronic diseases, physical activity and other things, the heart rate changes.
In medicine, there are clear heart rate norms for men, women, children and adolescents, deviations from which are the most serious reason for seeking medical attention and subsequent examination.
Such heart rate standards are highlighted in a table, where there are separate indicators for the state of rest, during physical activity, for example, running or while walking, as well as sleep. It is important for every person, even not suffering from diseases of the cardiovascular system, to know these values in order to sound the alarm in time.
Heart rate per minute in women
In order to understand what the rate of pulse per minute is, it should be understood that this concept means how many times within 60 seconds the arteries increase in width due to the work of the heart and natural blood emissions into the vessels.
Each person can count such enlargements of the arteries by touch; for this, three fingers of the right hand should be applied to the neck or on the wrist from the inside.
There are no uniform rates of pulse per minute for women, since this indicator is influenced by:
- the age of the person;
- any pathologies and chronic diseases;
- physical activity;
- body mass;
- the stress experienced the day before;
- bad habits and so on.
In general, according to cardiologists and therapists, it is considered normal when the pulse beats in 60 seconds range from 60 to 90 times. It can go up to 130 times if a woman is doing physical activity at this moment.
A deviation up or down should be the reason for an immediate examination and, possibly, hospitalization, since this can be very dangerous to health and even life threatening.
At rest
In the case when a woman is in a relaxed state, then the norm is when her pulse is from 60 to 90 beats per minute, moreover, if a person:
- at a young age (from 20 to 39 years old), then the pulse can be 70 - 85 beats;
- in adulthood (from 40 to 59 years) - in the range of 65 - 75 strokes;
- after 60 years - often the value is 60 - 70.
With age, at rest, the heart rate decreases and, as a result, the number of beats can be 60 - 65.
However, not only age affects the norms during rest, but also the role of:
- Any pathology of the heart.
- Disturbances in the circulatory system.
- Hormonal problems that women are often diagnosed with during and after pregnancy, menopause, and lactation.
- Insufficiently active lifestyle.
If a woman spends more time in bed, does not play sports, then these indicators will be lower.
While running
During running, there is an active load on the muscles, as well as the cardiovascular system. As a result, a person spends more energy, and his heart starts to work faster. It is absolutely natural that when jogging, the pulse is increased and reaches 110 - 125 beats per minute.
More inflated rates may signal that a woman has:
- There are problems with the endocrine system.
- There are heart diseases.
- Lack of physical activity, for example, she rarely goes in for sports and does any physical exercise.
- Are overweight.
- High cholesterol levels.
- Rides abuse of fatty foods, alcohol, semi-finished products.
If, while running, the heart rate is high, then the woman urgently needs to stop exercising, sit down, and then go to the clinic to examine the cardiovascular system.
When walking
Despite the fact that walking is not a high physical activity, it still affects the increase in blood flow and causes an increase in heart rate.
In general, while walking, a woman's heart rate can range from 100 to 120 times in one minute.
In the case when this indicator is increased, then doctors may assume that:
- it is difficult for a person to walk;
- are overweight;
- there are pathologies in the cardiovascular system.
If, with simple walking, the pulse is knocked down, the woman notes that the number of beats is higher than 120 per minute, then it is imperative to make an appointment with a cardiologist.
At night
Special standards of pulse beats during rest, when a person is in a relaxed state and asleep. At night, it is considered normal when these values range from 45 to 55 times.
This significant decline is due to:
- a decrease in the activity of all organs;
- complete relaxation;
- lack of any physical activity;
- no feeling of fear or excitement.
As noted by cardiologists, the lowest number of strokes occurs from 4 to 5 in the morning. The indicator can vary even from 32 to 40 times in one minute.
Age norms of heart rate in women - table
For each age, cardiologists have determined the optimal heart rate, which can be summarized in one general table:
Woman's age, in years | The minimum number of beats per minute | The maximum number of beats per minute |
20 — 29 | 65 | 90 |
30 — 39 | 65 | 90 |
40 — 49 | 60 | 85 — 90 |
50 — 59 | 60 | 85 |
60 — 69 | 60 | 80 |
After 70 | 55- 60 | 80 |
These values are given for a state of rest and when a woman:
- does not experience any nervous or other shocks;
- does not suffer from diseases of the cardiovascular system;
- hormonal disruptions have not been diagnosed;
- does not suffer from obesity or underweight;
- does not sleep.
A natural decrease in the number of heartbeats with age is inevitable and is associated with:
- slowing down the metabolism;
- age-related changes in tissues and cells;
- increased cholesterol;
- deterioration of cardiac activity and other factors.
Also, these indicators are influenced by bad habits, including those that a woman had at a young and mature age.
When is the heart rate high?
Some women have higher heart rates than needed.
Such deviations, according to cardiologists and therapists, can be traced as a result of:
- Heart disease.
- High physical activity.
It is noted that professional athletes have a slightly higher heart rate per minute than other women.
- Endocrine Disorders.
- Stress.
- Constant excitement.
- High body weight.
- Smoking.
- Excessive consumption of coffee and strong tea.
- Constant lack of sleep and other things.
In the case when there are high rates of pulse beats per minute, then a visit to a cardiologist is mandatory.
For each age group of women, there are certain rates of beats per minute. These indicators depend on a number of factors, in particular, physical activity, lifestyle, chronic diseases, and more.
With significant deviations up or down, each person should visit a doctor and be examined.
Blitz - tips:
- be sure to pay attention to the number of heartbeats per minute, especially during physical activity, even if there are no heart problems;
- it is important to understand that with age, the number of heartbeats slows down and this is a natural change;
- if, while walking or running, a woman feels that her heart is beating too fast, then sit down, drink water and breathe deeply.
