A member asked:
My bp and pulse for an athlete, should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be slow: The blood pressure and pulse of a trained athlete can be lower and slower than normal. Some trained athletes have pulses below 40 beats/minute at rest and the pulse can be even slower when sleeping. This is of no concern if there are no symptoms related to the slow pulse.
