A pulse rate of 88 beats per minute is normal. A normal person’s resting pulse rate is 60-100 beats per minute, and as long as the number of pulse beats in a quiet state is within this range, it is normal. In general, a pulse rate below 60 beats per minute is considered bradycardia, and a pulse rate above 100 beats per minute is considered tachycardia, both of which are abnormal. Strenuous exercise, emotional excitement and other situations where the heart beats faster, the pulse will also be briefly accelerated, as long as there are no other uncomfortable symptoms, it is also normal. Therefore, a pulse rate of 88 beats per minute is within the normal range and is not a cause for concern. If tachycardia or bradycardia occurs, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for consultation and examination to avoid delaying the condition.
