Heart BPM - joe7323 - 10-21-2020 Is it normal for the Heart BPM to go lower when you are on CPAP? I wore an Oxygen and BPM meter and it beeps when it goes to the abnormal level. I set mine at 50 and beeps at that point and below. When it startles me and I wake up it goes up to 65 to 67, RE: Heart BPM - Gideon - 10-21-2020 It's normal for heart BPM to go lower when you sleep. Turn off the alarms unless you specifically need them. That way you can review after the night. RE: Heart BPM - Jeff8356 - 10-22-2020 @joe7323, everyone's normal will likely be different. But to give you some context my BPM (pulse) numbers for last night were: High:92, Average:59, Low:46. Which is a fairly typical night for me. My lowest reading is usually just a quick drop (a few seconds maybe), then it goes back up to average. And it may only drop that low once or twice a night. If you spend a lot of time in your low range you should probably discuss it with your Dr. RE: Heart BPM - Glen e - 10-22-2020 My resting during the day is 65, sleeping on cpap I hit 55 often..... RE: Heart BPM - SarcasticDave94 - 10-22-2020 Lower numbers are to be expected during rest and sleep scenarios. That may be a normal number for you. If you are concerned that it's not normal, ask the doc about it. Mine is normally in the 60's at rest, but mine can jump a lot higher randomly due to my heart condition called PVC/premature ventricular contractions. I wouldn't be too concerned unless you feel ill for the lower rate status. RE: Heart BPM - sleepyp - 10-23-2020 My resting heart rate is 39 and it goes as low as 29 when I’m asleep, it’s not a problem. It’s normal for heart rate to drop low when resting, CPAP helps with restful sleep so it makes sense that average sleeping heart may drop vs your non CPAP average. |
