HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you have been exercising increasingly recently then this would cause a decrease in heart rate though it does not normally dip to the forties.
It may be best to see your doctor for an assessment which would include an ECG to take a look at the rate and rhythm of the heart.
Any treatment would depend on the findings.
I hope this helps
