Pulse rate is above 100 for 58 year old
Hi,
I am monitoring my father's pulse rate with a pulse oxymeter and it seems to be varying from 100-106 at rest itself. He has few medicals conditions, Diabetes and Hypertension and he is under medications for those.
His current blood sugar levels are 92 before breakfast and 185 afterwards.
His blood pressure is 125/85.
My question is if the pulse rate is normal for his age and conditions or should I be worried?
