Is 117 bpm a normal resting heart rate?

Question

I'm 16 years old, 5'3, 155 pounds and I just took my resting heart rate because I took a class on how to take it yesterday and I've been waiting all day today to be totally relaxed so I can take it. My class instructor didn't tell us what a regular heart rate is so I was wondering if mine was normal for my age, height, and weight. Thanks!

Answer

The normal heart rate for a adult should be between 60-90beats per minute.

Answer

No, that's high. That's my heart rate when I'm running for a while...

Answer

A resting heartrate for your age should be 60-100 beats per minute. Did you drink caffeine or eat something salty? 
Also make sure you're counting for a full 60 seconds, you'll get a more accurate rate.
If you're frequently above 100 it might be a good idea to get looked at. Lots of things can effect your heartrate though, so unless its frequently high, i wouldn't worry

Answer

Mines 80 bpm
