A member asked:

Is a heart rate of 43 during sleep normal? i am a 34 year old female.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal, yes!: It's common for heart rates of normal individuals to drop during sleep. We frequently see rates as low as high 30s in patients on telemetry in the hospital during overnight monitoring.
