The continuous advancements in technology have been so beneficial, especially to hospitals. Several years ago, nurses and doctors consult a steel folder to go over patients’ details. This went on for years until hospitals decided to join the bandwagon, and now, it’s not surprising to see a Howard Medical medication cart in hospital rooms anymore.

Through this medical cart, doctors and nurses can simply enter details pertinent to the record of the patient, and they may even retrieve a copy of the patients’ record seamlessly and most conveniently. Such a cart would ease a few responsibilities off a nurse’s hands; thus, they can concentrate on better things like focusing on the patient’s speedy recovery.

I was in an electronic store today. My classmate bought USB memory stick. I was roaming around while she was busy checking out the prices. I found 3 or more body massage stuff there and what a reasonable price compared to the one I saw in Oslo last Saturday. I supposed to buy that one in Oslo but I think twice and decided not. Take note they are exactly the same machine, same name and brand. So what a luck! Right?

I want to have that machine because my body is always stiff and feeling so tired specially my back. But upon checking at dream essential website tonight, I found out much more interesting stuff for relaxing like: Therapeutic Body Wraps, Therapeutic Eye Masks, Ear plugs plus noise and sound machines like: sound therapy system , SleepMate Sound Conditioner. What a complete page from body relaxing solution down to noise machine that can help your sleeping mode. So what a smart decision I made last week not to buy the expensive massage tool. So now, I have an option online and in the nearest store here!

Oh boy finally supervits.com answered my needs. I am actually in need of vitamins everyday , I feel so sick and tired most of the time. Supervits has everthing. Vitamins is indeed what I am needed.

Do you know what should be the normal pulse rate? I remember before during my last Physical Exam. My pulse rate runs too fast. The doctor suspected that I might have heart problem , so I was instructed to have some other test. But then the result was all fine. Yet yes my pulse rate is still abnormal… It is faster than normal. The next thing : the doctor told me to try counting my pulse rate when I am home. I also told her that I am afraid of doctors hahaha… my heart beats too fast when seeing nurse or doctor… whoaaaaaa! So, she told me to try it at home.

Then, yes my pulse rate when super relax is in normal range. Checking your pulse rate may differs in different situation. Check out the normal counting here.

. Between 60 to 80 per minute – is the normal pulse rate for humans, while restling.
.60 per minute = for well-comditioned athletes.
.40 beats per minute = while we are sleeping
.150 to 200 beats per minute = for those who are exercising

My rate folks goes to almost 100 hahaha… but I am really tensed.

How to Take Pulse Rate?


Measuring your own pulse is not at all a difficult task. As we mentioned earlier, it’s easy to feel the pulse at a few places, such as the wrist and the neck of the body. You just have to place the tip of your index, middle or ring finger on one of these spots, and press lightly until you feel the blood pulsating beneath the finger. If you have trouble finding the pulse, you may have to move the fingertip around the area till you locate it. Once you find it, count the beats for 15 seconds, and multiply the count by 4. This will determine your pulse rate for a minute. For instance, if you get 18 beats in 15 seconds, multiply 18 by 4 (18 x 4 = 72). This means your heart rate is 72 beats per minute.


A pulse rate exceeding 95 beats per minute, when the individual is at rest, is considered as abnormal. A high pulse rate is an indication of some abnormality in our body. Faster heart rate can occur due to several reasons, including fever and anxiety.
