A heart rate of 36 beats per minute is not normal and is considered a severe form of bradycardia and prompt medical attention is recommended.
1. The normal resting heart rate for an average adult is 60-100 beats per minute. Heavy laborers, athletes, etc. may have a heart rate around 50-60 beats per minute. These people do not have any discomfort and it is usually normal, but the heart rate will not be as low as 36 beats per minute.
2. A heart rate of 36 beats/minute is clinically known as bradycardia, and the symptoms may be more serious and may be accompanied by dizziness, palpitations and other discomforts, or even sudden loss of consciousness and sudden death.
3. Severe bradycardia is often seen in diseases such as problems with the cardiac pacing system, conduction system, sick sinus node syndrome, and severe atrioventricular block, which require appropriate measures to avoid life-threatening situations.
Therefore, if the heart rate is measured to be 36 beats per minute, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention, improve the examination, and treat the cause of the disease positively.
