Heart rate: You have a very slow heart rate. You slow heart rate may be due to Zoloft (sertraline). See your doctor for reevaluatiob

No worry: Our heart rates usually slow down when we rest and increase with activity. If your heart rate is slow and you feel dizzy or ill, some intervention may be required. However, as in your case, if your heart rate returns to normal on rising or with activity, that's OK.
