Suggest Treatment For Slow Heart Rate
I am 23 3 weeks ago my heart rate was normal 70-80 beats per minute. Now my heart rate has been between 50-60 beats per minute for the last two weeks. I am not athletic the only thing that i can come up with is i just got off of clonazepam ( a benzodiazepine ) could that cause the decrease in my heart rate or should i go get it checked out at the hospital? I do not have palpitations, but do feel tired..

Hello,
A heart rate between 50-60 is not too low, but if you feel tired and the heart rate continues low, I suggest you to do a 24 h ECG Holter monitoring. This can be from not taking clonazepam now.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
