Low heart rate?
Hey guys. I have posted in a few groups on various issues and would like to say I am very thankful for a community that listens and offered insight.
Anxiety, so they say, has landed me in er and cities many times. Fearing the classic heart attack symptoms hasn’t led me to have numerous ekgs, stress and eco with them all saying they would be shocked if it’s my heart. Question I have is I used to be active lifting weights and training f martial arts for 10 years. Lifting for about 15. I have been very bad with me eating and have did no exercise rcise in a good 6 months.
Lately I have been noticing my resting heart rate most time is between 53-59. I have heard that is good in athletic type. I’m wondering if his could be an issue or is it that way possibly due to my years of being active. Anyone have any expierence or ideas on this? Thanks in advance

2 ReactionsMine is in the 50s when resting and even dips in the 40s when I'm sleeping. That was recorded on a heart monitor. I am typically very active though so I guess this is normal.

2 ReactionsI worked out for many years and trained martial arts but really haven’t did anything in about six months? Is it possible to be from that ?
@jadillow If your concerned see your cardiologist Everyone on here has said not to worry but I understand if you are see your Dr.
Thanks. I do worry a lot. Lol. Cardiologist said I shouldn’t come back unless I feel the need. Tbh I don’t but just wanted to see what other people thought before I go see him as my medical bills are stacking up. Just wanted to see if the tiredness is associated with the low hr
@jadillow Stress we put on ourselves can cause us to think we are having a heart attack but in reality its just us . Try to distress yourselve and don't worry so much just go about living your life if it is something serious you will know it . Listen to your Dr. when he tells you not to come back unless you feel pain or something is different . There are a lot of things that can make you tired just getting older we cant do things we did when younger as we age our body changes don,t worry that is your biggest issue to get over . Focus on something pleasant in your life. Good luck.

1 Reactionmy heart rate dips into the 40's. I usually don't have symptoms when it drops, but a few times I did and was hospitalized to check if all was ok. I saw an EP and he wanted to put a pace maker, but my cardiologist thought it wasn't necessary bc I wasn't always symptomatic when it dropped that low. Are you on any meds? Some meds can cause you HR to drop. They checked my meds and took me off of a couple, so you may want to ask your doctors if any of your meds can lower your HR. You can also ask the pharmasisb and then discuss with your doctor. It's difficult to say if what you have is of concern or not bc for some people it's nothing, but for others it could be something that needs medical attention. Your doctor is the best source. If you don't feel that your doctor is taking it seriously, get a second opinion. Good luck!
My husband has been 40 to 51. Started taking midodrine yesterday as his blood pressure has often been less than 71/45.
