Is heart rate beats per minute related to your metabolism? i counted 85! which means im unfit?! but i work out

Other factors can affect your heart rate. Your hydration is a huge factor. The heart will beat much faster if you are dehydrated. Anxiety and agitation can increase your HR. Also, any medication that is an ephedrine...sudafed (pseudoephedrine) and others will increase your HR as well. Make sure you are relaxed, hydrated and sitting or lying down and take your pulse again. I bet you will be lower than 85!
