Well... f*ck, then. My resting heartrate is around 100 if not more. Never had it measured, but I'm guessing my IQ is about average, so this probably isn't even a joke in my case... :-/

it is what it is.

100 IQ is literally a baseline average. you can always read and learn and gather knowledge... it may not 'raise' your IQ but you can be a better person for it.

and you definitely have control over your heart rate. i just had emergency open heart surgery and now am on a drug will regulate my heart rate until i die. my situation is a mutation and hopefully only in my body, but your situation can probably be made better, even if just by a bit.

try and get out for a walk every day. doesn't have to be much. my wife and i walk about a half a mile a day and it always feels good.

I walk used to walk few kilometers a day but only after my medication "for stress" and taking a break from meaningless job by heart rate is rather normal for my age.

Stress is a silent but effective killer.

BTW it is possible that I'm prone to some other nasty shits due to my genes.

Resting heart rate should be 60-100, there's a pretty wide range. Lower is better (to a point), but you can be near 100 and still be okay.
