Some: The disorder that can cause that could be a thyroid problem, a heart problem or anxiety. Get your PCP check you and possibly even have a 24 hour holter monitor to check your heart rate.

Have taken nebivolol 5mg twice for Bp. Dropped my resting heart rate into the 40s through most of night, is this normal? Should I stop? BP has gone back to 115/75 because Nebivolol does relax me and I do have anxiety. My normal bp is 145/85-130/80?
