I'm curious if it's normal for my heart rate to be between 50 to 60 while I'm sleeping because I'm noticing it jumps to about 140 when I'm doing housework. Can you tell me if that's okay and what my heart rate should be when I'm resting?

A heart rate of 50 to 60 beats per minute during sleep is generally considered normal, especially if you are physically fit. However, a heart rate of 140 during housework seems elevated and may warrant further evaluation. For sleeping, the normal resting heart rate typically ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute, but it can be lower in healthy, fit individuals. Its advisable to discuss these fluctuations with your healthcare provider to ensure there are no underlying issues that need addressing
