One of my friends, she's 24, and her heart rate is always between 100 and 105 beats per minute. Is this something normal, or should we be worried about it?
A resting heart rate of 100-105 beats per minute in a 24-year-old individual may be considered higher than normal. It is recommended to monitor her heart rate regularly and consult a doctor for further evaluation. In some cases, medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate if necessary.
