Is This Low Heart Rate A Cause For Concern?
I am a healthy 67 year old woman with a low resting heart rate. It is lowest first thing in the morning at around 47-50bpm. During day it is between 55-67bpm. I have no other symptoms. I am on medication for high blood pressure which is well controlled usually around 120 over 65. Is this low heart rate cause for concern?

Hi , thanks for asking the us the question , my answers is that you should not be concern of it, early morning our body system is kinda slow , i.e low BP and low pulse rate. pulse rate less than 60 is called bradycardia, but when your body is active you are maintain that much pulse rate, i don't think so that there is any concern as such, for your bp your pulse rate is fine. i will alos advice you to go for daily walks and stay active.
i hope you are satisfied by my answer .
