Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am

After reading the details provided by you of your husband I would like to tell you that the normal recommended range of heart rate is 60 to 100 bpm.

But having a rate which is slightly above or below the range without any symptoms does not mean that there is some problem. Heart varies with physical activities, eating habits, smoking, stress/anxiety and many other factors.

In your husbands case as he is already taking cardiac medicines and have a good blood pressure control so there is nothing to worry about until unless he complains of some discomfort.

So just relax and make sure that he take his meds regularly on time and maintain healthy lifestyle habits.

I hope this information will answer your concern. If you have any other doubts you can ask me back or else you can close the discussion and kindly rate the answer.

Kind regards
