You do not say how much it varies. Is it a few beats per minute or 20 BPM? Are you just sitting and relaxing the whole time you take your BP/HR and nothing else changes yet you see your HR move from say 70 to 90 while you are just sitting doing nothing? Or are there other factors including if you have been physically working hard before hand, time of day or night, have you just eaten or woken from a poor nights rest?

Good points in this. Thanks. It seems to move around much more following some exercises or activities. That seems to slow down after I’ve been sitting awhile. The variance after that is only 2 or 3 BPM.
(I’m on carvedilol so my heart rate is usually pretty low- low to mid 60’s)
