Hi again, its been a while. So recently iv found my heart rate dip down to the 50s when relaxing. Sitting down watching TV and just not feeling much of anything. The other day I found my resting heart beat dip to the 50s. Wich isn't to odd as its done that in the past, but went right back up to the 60s/70s. But not this time, it stayed there all day well at rest and even hit 47 well laying in bed. It would shot back up to the 70s/80s/90s well up, but would fall back to the low 60s/50s once down. I'm not a fit perosn, and my eating is terrible. So of course I'm worried about my heart. I dont feel any difference when it happens other then a bit of dizzy and unfocused feeling (strictly because of my anxiety, it happens all the time when I'm in a fit) so since then iv taken my pluse around the clock on my phone. (A Samsung galaxy s9) and its really starting to effect my life

Have you had any heart tests in the past? If so what and when?

I'm not sure what this thread is about. RHR of 47-50 is actually very good.

Isn't that a good thing?

That's the real issue and a behavior that needs to stop as you're creating anxiety for yourself for no reason. It doesn't matter what it was or did before, it's where it is now.

That’s actually a nice resting heart rate.

Your giving yourself anxiety by constantly checking your heart rate. It’s about more then just the number, doctors don’t treat the number they treat the person. No matter what your heart rate is if your not having any symptoms your okay.
I have had my heart rate dip down into the 20s and 30s during sleep when I was younger and my doctor never seemed bothered by it and I have a few different heart arrhythmia’s.

Stop checking your heart rate.

I really don't think they care about a slow heart rate providing your not collapsing/passing out with it.

I'm still dealing with my pounding heart beat 24/7 so I always know how quick or slow my heart beat is without needing to focus much on it. Currently about 45/46, I'm fine. Its irritating being bounced by my heart and being loosely told my heart must be fine otherwise I would have been sent another appointment now...but its seemingly fine. I guess our hearts are doing as much as they need to, to keep us going. I'm also pretty unfit I'd say - Certainly not an athlete, I do pretty much no exercise!

You are absolutely correct in that bradycardia is not a concern unless one has symptoms like passing out, dizziness etc. In all honesty a low resting heart rate is a good thing so long as there are no contradictions like AV block and the like which are easily seen on an ECG.

So iv noicted my heart rate is different via taking it manually (15 seconds ×4) and each time it's about 10 beats or higher then any digital version i take it with.

Smart watches, phones etc often use a technology called photoplethysmography to measure heart rate. Not sure if you know what that is but it’s essentially testing how much red or green light it can see when looking at the skin. Blood is red because it reflects red light and absorbs green light, so when your heart beats, there’s more blood flow, and more green light absorption. Between heart beats, there’s less absorption of green light. Because this method relies on testing the light absorption of your skin to infer your heart rate, there are lots of ways there can be a struggle to get an accurate reading—or any reading at all and so I’m not surprised you get a different reading with your device then measuring your heart rate manually not to mention your heart rate varies constantly.

You really should stop checking your heart rate. Unless you’re doctor has asked you to keep track of your heart rate there is no need for one to do it. Constantly checking your heart rate will only cause you anxiety.

Did you even bother reading what everybody posted here, or have you just decided to keep habitually doing the thing that's really causing the issue here?

Still dealing with this low heart rate. Iv seen two emts in the past weak who have listen to my heart and have said it sounds fine and not to worry about it. I ended up going to the hospital the other day because of a tooth problem, wich is when i talked to the emts, so I didn't find the need to talk to my doctor about my heart as nothing seemd to be wrong or out of the ordinary. So out of fear of looking foolish, i didn't say anything about my heart. It was rather high for the past few days, staying in the 70s/90s. So I thought I could get over the fear. Till yesterday afternoon it startred to drop into the low 60s and now 50s again. I thought mabye the penicillin could be casuing it as it showed back up after leaveing. So I Googled and found penicillin could kill someone with a weak heart and now I'm freaking out! Did I kill myself by not telling my doctor I could have a undiagnosed heart condition?! Just because I didn't want to look crazzy..

As was asked earlier, did you not read the previous replies? This is a non-issue. In fact, having a resting heart rate of an athlete is a very good thing, regardless of your actual physical condition.... and you're still self testing which again is feeding your baseless fear :shrug:

So, my resting heart rate, as in the heart rate I have while lying in bed right after waking up, can be anywhere from 80 to 65 bpm. I noticed that it is usually higher (80 bpm) during stressful times of my life (i.e. the start and end of college semesters, midterm exams, etc.), and lower during times when I am more relaxed (even if I still have some anxiety going on in the background). I can track this cause I have a nice handy-dandy fitbit, but if tracking stuff like this feeds into your anxiety, I wouldn't recommend getting one. For me, having the fitbit actually lowers my anxiety, because I can actually track my anxiety and stress trends and therefore try to mitigate them before they get super bad. In the midst of a panic attack, my heart rate can go as high as 170 bpm.

Sometimes, especially when lying down or sitting and I am feeling super relaxed and/or sleepy, my heart rate will dip into the 50s/40s as well. If I stay up too late and my body is like, "bro, it's time to go to sleep," my heart rate will also dip into the 40s then as well because that is what the circadian rhythm is telling the body to do.

A low resting heart rate is a GOOD thing!!! You have absolutely nothing to worry about. You don’t have an undiagnosed heart condition!! You will not find any doctor any where that would be the tiniest amount concerned about your heart rate because it’s normal. Doctors don’t care about low heart rates unless a person is experiencing symptoms.

You have been given reassurance and good advice as well and yet you continue to monitor your heart rate. There really isn’t anything else we can do for you. I’m sorry that your worried and anxious but the worry over your heart rate really is driven by anxiety and until you accept that and figure out a way to deal with it, things will only get worse. You will eventually move on from this fear onto another because that’s how it works.

I suggest at this point, based on the fact that several members have given you reassurance as well as the medical aspects of heart rates, you see a doctor. Let us know what they say.
