Can dramatic weight loss lower resting hr? i went from 184 to 144lbs this year and my rhr is 46. 24hr holter was fine. should i have more tests?

Not necessarily: If your heart rate is in the 40s and you have no symptoms like fainting or light headedness, it sounds like you have a young healthy heart. Congratulations. And congratulations on your weight loss. The doctor that ordered your holter should be able to tell you if more testing is needed. I'm thinking, probably not.
