Not true: There's no harm whatsoever to have the hr you report. In fact, seasoned athletes may have resting heart rates in the 40s.

Had a Holter monitor that showed that my heart rate dropped to 39 at night, but Holter was shown as normal. I always thought a heart rate that low was bad. In good shape, but don't do much exercise. Heart rate is normal range during day. Any concern?
