A member asked:
I recently lost 35 pounds but noticed my resting heart rate has changed significantly! from 90 to about 49-53. i'm concerned?

It is likely fine.: Likely the heart rate decrease is due to the weight loss which is excellent. Another reason could be any medications you re on. If you generally feel well, and do not feel short of breath when exerting yourself, I do not think you need to worry.
