What Causes Low Heart Rate And Tiredness?
My sister in law is 80 years old. She has been feeling very tired and faint. She has been checking her bp everyday. She is getting reading of 115/54 with heart rate of 54. This sounds very low to me, but her heart Dr says that is fine. Should I be worried about her?

Welcome to hcm,
Elderly persons with Heart rate of 55 to 60 is considered normal. There may be intra day and interday variations nothing to worry about it if you are too much concerned you can take a ECG and confirm the possibility of any arrhythmias. Hope this explains.review with the ECG results if needed.
