Hi, I just had a baby 3 days ago. I've noticed that my heart rate is slower. I usually have a faster heart rate around 80. I
Am on some anti anxiety (clonezepam) now but I've never had a slow heart beat. I'm not athletic but obviously pretty exhausted. Just wondered if this was anything to be concerned about. Thank you.
