Sleeping heart rate: your sleeping heart rate is not as concerning if you are not breathing. our bodies can beat very slowly sometimes especially if we are exerting little effort. However, a sleep study is the only way to confirm the amount of episodes you have nightly which is known as Sleep Apnea. This is a serious condition that can be evaluated properly by a pulmonologist.
