Additional Information about Pulse Rate

• Pulse rate rises normally during excitement, after physical exertion and during digestion.
• Pulse rate is also influenced by breathing rate.
• The pulse rate is generally more rapid in females.
• Variation of one degree of temperature above 98 F is approximately equivalent to a rise of 10 beats in pulse rate. Temperature 98 F. corresponds to pulse of 60 per minute. So, Temperature 99 F will correspond to pulse of 70 per minute and so on. Then, temperature 104 F will correspond with pulse of 120 per minute.
