I have to correct myself. I have gotten to the point where I take it that bradycardia = < 50 BPM, especially after I encountered a cardiologist who opined that the true demarcation point, 60 BPM, is too high in his opinion. My bad....I should have said that an HR of less than 60 BPM is officially 'bradycardia' in pretty much every site one could find by asking the question.
I do agree with the cardiologist because most in good condition with a fit heart will be in bradycardia while asleep. A great many of us have HR in the 45-55 range while fast asleep.

My pulse has been 32 to 42 but doc says I have a strong heart. But have chest pain and shortness of breath company that monitors me wants me to go to er for an ekg. Not sure what to do myself. Bradycardia at its finest.

UPDATE - Just as my BPM mysteriously rose from the mid-50s to approximately 90 with normal sinus rhythm, it just as mysteriously dropped back down on Jan. 4, 2025 to the mid-50s (25 days later). It has now been ten days with it still in the mid-50s with normal sinus rhythm. My cardiologist says there could be a number of exotic reasons why this happened but there should be no worries for now.
