A member asked:
Started a vlcd 5 weeks ago for gastric sleeve last tuesday. since the diet my resting heart rate has dropped from 76 to 51. no symptoms, ectopic beats?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptoms? Concern?: In general, a low resting heart rate is beneficial (people live longer with low resting heart rates! - you only get so many heart beats in your life!). Unless you are having symptoms from the low heart rate, or are concerned about it for other reasons, there's not much to worry about. Use HealthTap Prime to discuss your overall condition & why HR may have decreased on VLCD or after VSG gastrectomy
