Specializes in Pediatrics

Bradycardia: A normal range for Heart rate in an adult is 60-100BPM. In a younger person, or someone who is more active, the heart rate can be closer to 40-60BPM. I would not worry about an occasional low reading at rest. Talk to your Dr if you experience dizziness/lightheadedness, fatigue, confusion, shortness of breath or chest pains.
