Hi rencheng,
Your heart rate is lower than normal range but in some persons with more phycical activities like athlets have low heart rate due to parasympathetic dominance, if are athlete or does more physical activity you need not worry, otherwise you have to undergo complete electrocardiac study. consult cardialogist for evaluation and treatment.
Take care

WElcome to HCM.
First you go for complete investigations with S.B12,Thyroid profile,sugar,ECG,ECHO, to reach the cause of slow rates.
High-performance athletes often have heart rates in the 40s. with low thyroid conditions will often have a very slow heartbeat. who are very cold also have slow heartbeats.
Consult cardiologist for further treatment.
