Bike riding and BP. : If anything, I'd think the cardiovascular exercise would lower your heart rate (which it seems it has) and your blood pressure (which it seems it has not). You may just have high blood pressure.

My heart rate is as low as 42 near sleep. Usually in 50s or high 40s at rest. Not athlete. Increases with exercise . Should I be worried?

I am 47 years female. My Heart rate variability is consistently low in the 30s or even 20s! My heart rate is okay high if I exercise around 160 and low around 60s not exercising. Resting rate sometimes goes to 40. I have RBBB. Should I worry?
