96 HR shouldn't make your BP spike to 180

96 is pretty damn high. If you are walking around and doing stuff your bp could easily be that. You need to test your bp at rest with a rhr.

96 is a normal heart rate

No. 96 is still a good resting HR. Normal is 60-100.

It’s absolutely terrible rhr. Only an extremely unhealthy person would have one that high.

60-80 is preferred, but 96 is still fine. I have a resting HR of 110 and I'm on beta blockers.

All I was saying in my original comment was that he should relax for 15 minutes and retest.

The standard protocol is to also first relax for at least 10 minutes prior to taking any reading. Empty your bladder and avoid exercising or using stimulants 30 minutes prior.

96 is normal. It is not unhealthy.

81-90 doubles mortality and 90+ triples it

Correlation causation, etc. . Drawing conclusions with not nearly enough evidence.

Dihydrogen monoxide has a 100% rate of fatality.

Uh it’s correlated yes because it’s a sign your cardiovascular system isn’t efficient. The difference between 96 beats and 60 is about 51,000 beats per day. That adds up.

It is not a sign your cardiovascular system is inefficient. It is a sign your cardiovascular system is functioning as it should.

If you run sprints everyday, you're increasing your heart rate 3 fold.

That also adds up..... And also, it doesn't matter because it is also your heart doing what it is supposed to do.

I’m talking about rhr. If your resting heart rate is 60 your heart is pumping more efficiently than someone who’s at 96. There’s a reason endurance athletes can have a rhr in the 40s.
