The normal heart rate range is typically 60-100 beats per minute (bpm). However, with AFib, the heart rate tends to be higher, ranging from 100-175 bpm.
It's important to note that if you're taking medications for AFib, your heart rate while exercising will likely be lower than average, and standard heart rate monitors on exercise equipment may not be accurate for you. To monitor your heart rate during exercise, it's recommended to use:
• A chest strap monitor
• A watch-like fitness tracker
Always consult with your doctor to determine your ideal target heart rate, as it can vary based on your specific condition and medications. Stop exercising and contact your physician if you experience unusual symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
