A member asked:

Multiple causes : You may not be in as good of condition as you think. A simple cv stress test will help define the cause.

Had a Holter monitor that showed that my heart rate dropped to 39 at night, but Holter was shown as normal. I always thought a heart rate that low was bad. In good shape, but don't do much exercise. Heart rate is normal range during day. Any concern?
