Measuring Heartbeats: Easy Ways, Instruments & Graphs

"Feel" your heartbeat

Anyone knows the easy way to measure heartbeats ?
What instruments are to be used ? If i don't have such high tech intruments, what 'simplest' ones can I make use of to do the job ?
I wish I can make something like this and draw a graph of it to...err...predict how its going on in some later phases. Heart attack is a sudden "drop" though..
Can you help me ? i am still...
True!
Thanks in advance

I'm not too sure what you are asking, but you could use your hand and a watch to monitor your heart beat. Measure in beats per minute.

Hi there,

Measuring heartbeats can be done in several easy ways. The most common and accessible way is to simply "feel" your heartbeat by placing your fingers on your wrist, neck, or chest. You can count the number of beats you feel in one minute and that will give you your heart rate.

If you want a more accurate measurement, there are various instruments you can use such as a heart rate monitor or a pulse oximeter. These can be purchased at most drugstores or online.

If you don't have access to high-tech instruments, you can still measure your heartbeats using simple tools such as a stopwatch and a stethoscope. You can also create your own homemade stethoscope using a funnel and a piece of tubing.

To draw a graph of your heartbeats, you can use a simple pen and paper or a smartphone app that tracks your heart rate. This can help you monitor any changes in your heart rate over time.

It's important to note that while monitoring your heartbeats can give you an idea of your overall heart health, it cannot predict or prevent a heart attack. If you have concerns about your heart health, it's best to consult with a medical professional.

I hope this helps! Take care of your heart.
