Hello it's very common to have pulse in between 50 -60 , rather it's a sign of healthy heart as all athletes who do intense training have a lower heart rate .
Now in your case , it may be a natural phenomenon which is good , but as you are feeling tired I would suggest that you rule out secondary causes of lower pulse , most common being hypothyroidism ( less working of thyroid gland) by doing S. Tsh. Also a baseline ecg to rule out any conduction abnormality of heart would be recommended.
This two simple test with give us a better picture and will help relieve your anxiety.
