Reduced Blood Circulation To Hands, Low Heart Rate. Is There Anything To Be Worried About?
Hi I m a 49 yr old female and in very good health. Blood pressure is typically 102/68. I exercise about 5 days a week. I noticed that when reading in bed holding a book up I lose circulation in my hands. Not sure why this happens. My heart rate tends to be low when just sitting, can be in the 50s. I do get cold hand too

your symptoms are normal.when u raise ur hand for a long time ur blood circulation in the arms decreases and they get cold.those who exercise regularly esp athletes have a heart rate on the lower side of normal.nothing to worry
