53, m, toprolxl25mgx2. hr at rest is consistant between 47-52bpm.holter recorded as low as 35 during sleep. dangerous? will low hr lead to arrest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Your low resting heart rate is likely related to a combination of your intrinsic vagal tone (the way you are "wired") and the use of toprol (metoprolol) (a beta blocker) which causes a slower heart rate. So long as you are not experiencing symptoms like dizziness, fainting, or excessive fatigue, those heart rates are acceptable and safe.
