My body slows my heart down to 45 while lying resting should i be afraid of heart stopping or heart block? my body is not used to this low rate.

Normal: It's normal for the heart to slow during rest - 40s are not unusual and even the 30s can occur. As long as it picks up with movement, it's normal. When heart block is present, it does not increase rate with exercise.
