Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your heart rate values are a little low and they could be indicative of bradycardia.
Coming to this point, I would recommend performing a resting ECG, a cardiac ultrasound and an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to evaluate your heart rhythm trends during the day and investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia.
It is also important performing further tests to investigate for metabolic causes that may lead to this clinical situation (electrolyte imbalance, thyroid gland dysfunction etc.).
For this reason, I would recommend checking also your blood electrolyte levels and thyroid hormone levels.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
