How slow of a heart rate should be something to worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bradycardia: Bradycardia is diagnosed w/heart rate <60bpm. However, more important is symptomatic bradycardia eg when you feel weak, lightheaded or dizzy. That's when your heart rate is really too low. On the other hand, many well-trained endurance athletes have heart rates into the low 50s if not high 40s and do just fine. However, anyone who notices a sudden slowdown in heart rate needs to get evaluated.

Is it possible for the heart rate to be out of sync with the pulse? Lets say, the heart rate is fast (above 100 bpm), but the pulse is palpably slow (below 100 bpm)?

Heart rate slowed to low 50's. Always 80's - 90's. on 2 occasions in the last month it was so slow I became dizzy. Lasted +_ 3 min. Exercise less now than before. Worry or normal?
I have a very slow heart rate (44 bpm) and it beats irregular. Should i worry?
I have skipped beats immediately after I stop exercising. After heart rate slow downs, it is then normal again. If the slowdown is gradual, for example riding a bicycle, then it is all normal. Anything to worry about?
I've noticed when i stand up my heart rate gets extremely slow and it seems to skip a beat then starts racing suddenly. Why is this? Should i worry?
