My pulse is low in the mornings too. I wear my Apple Watch to monitor. My cardiologist said if I start getting dizzy, extremely tired or out of breath, I will need a pace maker. Currently, I don’t have any of those fore mentioned symptoms. But everyone is different and figure eventually I’ll need one down the road.

If your cardiologist wants to implant a pacemaker do not fear it. It is an outpatiend surgery and most go home same say.
I never had any out of breath with my low pulse rate but did get dizzy when standing to fast. My low pulse rate and low BP was caused by medication I was put on.
MY EF had gone down to 30 and cardiologist recommended ICD. I went to Mayo Jacksonville for second opinion and my EP there said would recommend both a ICD and pacemaker. He referred me to a HF specialist who recommended changing my medications. It was that change of medications that brought down my pulse and blood pressure.
My EP and HF worked together to find a good pulse rate (controlled by pacemaker) that reflected my activity level, what would reduce PVCs, etc. We found pacing at 70 bpm was best. I have had a ICD/Pacemaker (on my 3rd device) since 2006.
