No, because if you have a lower resting heart rate you are usually healthy, but it can depend on the person.
Cardiovascular fitness can lead to a decrease in resting heart rate.

I actually went to the dr yesterday and my resting heart rate was over 100. That is not normal and she recommended that I have my thyroid checked. You definitely need to see a dr if you have a high heart rate.
Genuinely depends on your age and the level of exertion you are having. If you were a baby in the womb then this could be considered a normal resting heart rate. If you are doing strenuous exercise, this could again be a normal heart rate. However, in an adult a normal resting heart rate is usually between 60 - 100 bpm. A healthy resting heart rate is more likely between 60 and 70 bpm. A resting heart rate is when you are doing no activity, such as lying down. If your heart rate is 150bpm when you are at rest this could be a sign that you are pretty unhealthy. A resting heart rate this high should probably be checked out by a doctor as it could lead to health complications in the future.
