My pulse seems to be at 97 beats per minute. Is that considered high or within the normal range? Could this be a sign of heart disease? I'm really anxious to know more.

A pulse rate of 97 beats per minute is slightly higher than the normal range, which is typically between 60-100 beats per minute for adults. It is not necessarily an indication of heart disease, but it could be a sign of various conditions such as anxiety, dehydration, fever, anemia, or thyroid issues. If you are experiencing other symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or fainting, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Otherwise, you can try to relax, stay hydrated, and monitor your pulse rate.
