Slow heart rate: It is common and normal for heart rate to slow during sleep. Unless there are other things to make you worry about a slow heart rate (such as fatigue or shortness of breath doing exercise, or dizziness or fainting) I would not worry about this. If you want specific guidance, consider getting a cardiology consult here on HealthTap.

I'm a 44 year old woman and 5'8" and weigh 295 pounds. I noticed that since I started eating healthy, my heart rate seems to be in the 50s, laying in bed when I wake up or laying in bed tryingtogetto sleep. Is this normal?
If Im awake just laying down should my heart rate drop into the 50s? It also does it when Im asleep. I have a Fitbit and a pulse ox. Just cutis if this is something to worry about. Im Not an athletic person and Im overweight. I have pcos also?
For the last couple of weeks my fitbit has been telling me my sleeping heart rate has been rising into the upper 80s when my normal resting rate is 69. Cause for concern?
