Anybody else have an abnormally low heart rate? My rate used to be consistently in the mid 50's - low 60's, but lately has been anywhere from 44 to low 50's - but mainly in the high 40's - during the day.
My cardiologist schedule a exercise stress test, 48 hour Holter monitor and echocardiogram. The stress test came back fine. Still waiting on results from the Holter monitor and will take the Echo later this month.
I realize that highly conditioned athletes tend to have low rates. Nobody has ever looked at me and thought I was one of those, so something else is going on. I have mild CAD, but other than that most heart related tests I've had over the last couple of years have come out normal. My cardiologist seemed to be fine when my rate was 55 (still low), but seemed a little bit concerned that it's gone down from there.
