I've been checking my pulse rate a lot since yesterday, like 34 times, and it's been between 95 to 100 on the pulse oximeter. Is this okay, or does it seem a bit high? I'm just wondering what I should do to improve it if needed.

A pulse rate between 60 to 100 beats per minute is generally considered normal for adults. A pulse rate of 95 to 100 may be slightly on the higher side, but it could be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or physical activity. To help lower your pulse rate, you can try relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. Make sure to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and nicotine, and get an adequate amount of sleep. If your pulse rate consistently stays high or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
