Google is saying under 60bpm is bradycardia but it’s not really an issue until you get to like 40 (unless you’re a badass athlete) or if you have symptoms (I also love when you read these articles and it says if you lose consciousness to seek medical attention).
My watch tells me my resting heart rate is generally low 50s but has hit in the past week down to 38 while sleeping. Most nights it stays above 40 but does get to 40-45ish half the time (almost always just while sleeping for just a little bit). Once I was walking around town half the day and took a break and it went to 43 which looked weird. I’m not a badass athlete but I don’t have a car and rarely pay for the bus yet am never home and sometimes do yoga but I don’t eat much so that’s why I’m wondering for how long under what circumstances should low 40s/below 40 be a sign of a problem?
