I have a heart rate monitor which i have proven to be accurate by checking my pulse, and i have noticed it sits around 50 at rest. is this normal?

Slow rate: Your resting heart rate of 50/minute is slower than the average of 70 for your age, but may not be abnormal. If you have no symptoms of lightheadedness or blood pressure abnormalities and your heart rate increases properly with exercise, it points to normalcy. An EKG done at rest can document the presence or absence of any abnormal heart rhythm.

I have had my heart thoroughly checked by cardiologist recently. Lately my sitting down resting pulse rate is about 80 beats per minute. When I stand it goes up to 100 to 105 and only settles to 90 to 95 when just standing still. What could be causes?
