Hi There

I read your query and understanding your concern.
See, as you are following a very good routine of doing cardio and you don't feel breathless at that time that means you need not worry about your cardiac part .

People who are physically active can have Heart Rate around 55-60. If you are not feeling any dizziness or syncope like thing then you should not worry about heart rate part too. You can get your ECG done to check for rhythm abnormality, most likely it should not be there.

Sometime candesarten ( Atacand) can cause dizziness, bronchitis or cough. So preferably you can ask your treating doctor to put you on some alternative medicine for your Blood Pressure.

Hopefully I answered all your queries
Good Luck and Take care
