Worried about my heart, low heart rate freaking me out.

[Brian_VA]

I went through this exact same thing 2 years ago! I even posted on here about it. I was obsessed with my heart rate because of the FitBit. I had to stop wearing it. I finally realized that my resting heart rate is in the 50s because I exercise every day. I run about 3 miles a day.I love wearing it now and in fact I like seeing my resting heart rate go even lower. It means your in good cardio shape. My wife's resting heart rate is in the low 50s!

A resting heart rate in the 50s isn't low.

60-100 is also not really a RHR range. A trues RESTING heart rate in the 80s (for example) isn't good at all.

My heart rate when I'm lying in bed at night or in the early morning can be around 54-55 BPM, and I'm not a well-trained athlete or anything. I had a 48 hour Holter Monitor recently for heart palpitations and the doctor didn't even bother to mention it. I don't think it's something to worry about.
