How to measure pulse rate?

The best and easiest place in our body to check the pulse rate is the wrist. All you will need is your fingers and a watch.

Sit comfortably and place your arm on a rigid surface, palm facing up, while making sure that the elbow is parallel with your heart. In order to find the pulse, use your right hand and place it on the right side of the wrist. Press down and count the beats for one consecutive minute.

Another easy way to stay on top of your pulse is by using a Digital Finger Pulse Oximeter.

The Nonin Onyx II 9550 for example, has a superior performance, comes with an exclusive pulse quality indicator, a brilliant and an easy-to-see LED that provides a quick and accurate assessment of patient readings.
