~~Hey~~
After running three miles, my pulse was 60 b.p.m. At first I thought that it was a mistake. However, I checked my pulse over and over again and still came up with 60 b.p.m. Is this normal? Should I be worried? I went to see my doctor, but he said that it was nothing to be worried about? Should I get a new doctor? Should I even go to the hospital?

60bpm are you sure you calculated that right? That means your heart beat 1 every second. What is it when you are at rest? And how old are you?

Yes it's very low. Did you ever get exhausted (or started to sweat a little?) and how long after the run did you take your pulse?

wow; guess you can run twice as hard then, do you check it during your run? How fast are you running?

Hey! It's me agin. I am seventeen years old, and I do not know what is wrong with me! Please help! I scheduled an appointment with a new doctor. Hopefully he can give me some answers. This doesn't happen only when I exercise. It happens all the time. Sometimes I faint, or cannot breathe and think that I am going to die. Do you have any idea what it could be?
