A member asked:

This morning i immediately checked my blood pressure which was 124/72. however what alarmed me was my heart rate 40. is this normal? not an athlete.

Bradycardia.: You should check your heart rate during the day. A normal heart rate while awake is 60-100, but it's common for the HR to drop down into the 50s or 40s while we're sleeping.
