An adults heart rate is normally between 80 and 100, so says the book I read. Athletes or people in good shape have lower heart rates. A good adult bp is 120/80 only if if gets to 160/90 and above should you start to worry, cut back on salt intake. I would have to look at your watch to know how to check it. Take it to a pharmacy, maybe they know how.

The easiest and best known method to calculate your maximum heart rate (MHR) is to use the formula MHR=220 – Age. A paper by Londeree and Moeschberger (1982) from the University of Missouri-Columbia indicates that the MHR varies mostly with age, but the relationship is not a linear one. They suggest an alternative formula of MHR=206.3 – (0.711 × Age). Similarly, Miller et al (1993) from Indiana University propose the formula MHR=217 – (0.85 × Age) as a suitable formula to calculate MHR.
