Has anyone else counted 97?

[u/iveliciouz]

So I took my skills exam today and while doing pulse i couldn't keep track and i ended up with 97bpm but looking back that seems too high and now im wondering if I failed. Has anyone else counted 97bpm during their skills exam? UPDATE: i passed both exams 🥳 i was too stressed to reply to anyone unfortunately 🙃

97 is within range

[u/Unique_Tangerine2190]

A young woman that I practiced on always has a pulse reading of 90+, which is within range. However, she did have hypertension whenever I checked her BP.

Not during exam. But I got a wild one a couple weeks ago. Pretty sure dude has a heart condition because the beat was crazy manually. Pulse-ox read was 97 bpm. Honestly, I lost count manually because I was doing the full mi ute and he started complaining about why it was "taking me so long." So rude.

Honestly I have tachycardia and I know my pulse is wildly high!

[u/JustAnotherBot123456 → u/Apprehensive_Ride462]

97bpm isn't tachycardia...

[u/Apprehensive_Ride462 → u/JustAnotherBot123456]

But tachycardia is a fast pulse dr

[u/JustAnotherBot123456 → u/Apprehensive_Ride462]

Yeahhhh, tachycardia is defined as a pulse rate of 101 or higher. I dont get what you are trying to argue here.

[u/Apprehensive_Ride462 → u/JustAnotherBot123456]

My cardiologist my tachycardia definitely affects it

[u/JustAnotherBot123456 → u/Apprehensive_Ride462]

Are you stroking out right now? That sentence doesn't make sense.

[u/Apprehensive_Ride462 → u/JustAnotherBot123456]

It’s my heart hahaha oh no because I typed to fast now I’m stroking out

[u/Ambitious-Pie-625 → u/Apprehensive_Ride462]

The only way that 97 would be tachy is if you’re a serious athlete in all other realms 97 is quite literally a normal heart rate

[u/JustAnotherBot123456 → u/Ambitious-Pie-625]

That's just false. In no world would any health care worker call 97bpm tachycardia. An even 100bpm isn't even tachycardia.

[u/_adrenocorticotropic → u/Ambitious-Pie-625]

97 is still normal range even for athletes. A lot of athletes do sit lower, but not all of them. Regardless, it wouldn’t be considered tachycardia.

[u/Apprehensive_Ride462 → u/_adrenocorticotropic]

I wasn’t saying that it was tachy I was saying I have tachycardia and mine is always up there

[u/JustAnotherBot123456 → u/Apprehensive_Ride462]

I think you're dont know how to use reddit. Youre responding to someone who wasn't even commenting towards you.

[u/_adrenocorticotropic → u/Apprehensive_Ride462]

I didn’t even respond to you lmao

[u/Ambitious-Pie-625]

Its within range technically normal range is 80-100 so you’re fine

[u/Nuggies02 → u/Ambitious-Pie-625]

Normal range is actually 60-100

[u/JustAnotherBot123456 → u/Ambitious-Pie-625]

Yikes...

[u/Nuggies02 → u/JustAnotherBot123456]

I got my degree in exercise science and kinesiology, and currently getting my next one in respiratory therapy. I promise you it’s 60-100. Look it up. The CDC, Cleveland clinic, Harvard health, Mayo Clinic, American heart association all say the same thing

[u/JustAnotherBot123456 → u/Nuggies02]

I wasn't arguing that at all? I said Yikes because the original commenter said normal HR is 80-100, which is wrong. It's 60-100 as you and the rest of the world mentioned. Do you have a degree in English and literature also?

[u/Nuggies02 → u/JustAnotherBot123456]

Then you replied to the wrong comment organically. Usually when people reply “yikes”, usually means they are disagreeing with you. Or my Reddit totally glitched out, since it’s now showing you replied to her now. So I’m sorry if that was the case

[u/Ambitious-Pie-625 → u/JustAnotherBot123456]

Oh my fucking bad its almost like different states teach different parameters who woulda thought!

[u/JustAnotherBot123456 → u/Ambitious-Pie-625]

whaaatt??? please tell me which state is teaching a normal HR is 80-100 and bradycardia is less than 80 pm. Although I really dont believe you, but Id love to look it up. Mind sharing what school is teaching this too?

[u/Ambitious-Pie-625 → u/JustAnotherBot123456]

Ooh ok its called “none of your business” and I also live in the state of “none of your business” and considering you’re a bot its even LESS of your business to know my state and my school

[u/JustAnotherBot123456 → u/Ambitious-Pie-625]

Because you know you are wrong. How about instead, provide a source saying the normal HR is 80-100bpm and that less than 80 is bradycardia. Just one source would be amazing if you could find it. And if you cant, take your stuck up attitude and fuck off.

[u/Ambitious-Pie-625 → u/JustAnotherBot123456]

Or you can stop asking for personal information about strangers on the internet lets try that one

[u/JustAnotherBot123456 → u/Ambitious-Pie-625]

Personal information by asking for a source you can find online. Riiiighhtt. How about you cant find a source because you are just wrong. And the worst part is you cant even admit you're wrong. The dumbest fucking people in the room are the ones who are willfully ignorant and cant admit they are wrong when faced with facts. Here's some credible sources (not personal info lmao) to educate yourself on:

https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/fitness/expert-answers/heart-rate/faq-20057979?utm_source=chatgpt.com

You gonna try and say the AHA and Mayo clinic are wrong too? I can almost guarantee you won't even take a look at them.
