Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a metabolic disorder. The drop in the resting heart rate is quite normal in sport persons. Anyway, I would recommend performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged period of time and exclude possible sick sinus syndrome or any other types of cardiac arrhythmia. It is also necessary checking thyroid hormone levels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
