Not necessarily: if you're not on medications, normal resting heart resting heart rate is around 60 - 100 beats per minute.  However, some people who physically fit/in shape, athletes, or those who are involved in a lot of physical activity can have heart rate less than 60.

I don't know : What's your question but heart rate it's normal to me. Keep exercising and a healthy lifestyle. Avoid bad habits like smoking.

Stay positive in life and look for help for your anxiety problem.

Question 5

heart rate of 50 and asymptomatic does this warrant a call to the md?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily.: If your heart rate has always been slow and you have no symptoms you don't need an md. But I should also advice to see a doctor make sure you don't have an irregular slow heart rate which is a symptomatic for the moment , i.e. Atrial flutter, which needs treatments.

Question 6

23,5'9 290 pounds and am sedimentary, yet i have a resting heart rate of 50 bpm, have perfect blood pressure and low cholesterol. something wrong?

Accepted Answer

Yes: very glad your BP and cholesterol are normal, but your weight at its current level could be an additional risk factor for other medical problems. Would be worthwhile for you to see your doctor and possibly a dietician to get into a long term comprehensive program that would help you to lose weight and keep it off. Good luck.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

No, but discuss it: Always get full info on a new Rx - know the pros and cons, what to expect and do if there's a problem - in detail! Call to get this ASAP. The drug is for hi blood pressure and that can be very serious if untreated - so take efforts to understand all of this and advice on diet/exercise/life style/etc too. A full treatment program can make your life much better!

Question 8

what are the health consequences of a heart rate of 45-50 bpm during contractions from nuchal cord?

Accepted Answer

Most likely none: It is quite common for infants to experience a slow heart rate during contractions when mother is pushing. However, if the infant is experiencing slow heart rate early in the labor process it may indicate that the baby is compromised. Most infants can tolerate this without long term damage for a short period of time, but ongoing heart rate drops need immediate evaluation.

Question 9

i have dysautonomia and a low resting heart rate of 44-50 when laid down. sinus bradycardia. to determine if bradycardia is normal or causing symptoms can atropine be used as a test?

Accepted Answer

: If you have autonomic dysfunction, your heart rate will not go up 10 beats when you change the position suddenly from supine to standing up, your blood pressure may drop and you will feel lightheadedness. We use Atropine to treat symptomatic bradycardia but not using it for test.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Go to ER: You may be having a heart attack, or heart failure because of the low heart rate which may be a high-grade heart block in which case your heart can stop at any time. Seek help immediately!
