Are your heartrate and pulse the same thing??


Answers:

Basically. Your heart rate is how fast your heart beats. You can measure it by taking your pulse (which means pressing on a vein close to the surface of your skin). Basically you can feel the vibrations in the vein as your heart beats and if you count them over a period of time, X beats per minute, that is your pulse which is the measurement for how fast your heart is beating. Hope that made sense, but the # will be the same.
