What Does The Vent Rate Of 50BPm From ECG Indicate?

I recently (11 days ago) had bicycle accident and injured my head. Following a CT scan I was diagnosed as having a sub arachnoid? bleed. 3 spots of bleeding.Three days in hospital and I was admitted to a neuro ward where I was scanned again and it was determined there were no potential anurisms, and discharged the next day with no advice other than i may suffer dizziness and headaches for two - three weeks. It was noted on several occasions in hospital that both my blood pressure and heart rate are low, and I was put on two occasions on IV to improve blood pressure.
Since coming out I have visited a GP and had an ECG showing my Vent rate at 50bpm. Although I run occasionally (no more that twice a week as my family life permits) I am 36 year old female and think this seems low. I am still waiting another GP appointment. Should I be worried?

subarachnoid haemorrhage may be cause of low heart rate ..but your Neuro said no problem ...as u are physically active and young female..it may be a normal thing ..but you have not mentioned about previous heart rate ..so I think you should wait..pulse rate 50 is not excessively worrisome if patient does not have any additional cardiac problem or anaemia..if everything is ok then relax for next few days and if problem does not resolve by next 4-5 days or pulse dips below 50 or your light headedness increases then you should visit doctor
