I have noticed that my heart rate goes very low lately... lower 40's and sometimes at night below 40. when should i rush in? i do exercise regularly but not close to a pro athlete.

Low heart rate : A heart rate that low can be normal for a very athletic person. You need to see a doctor for a physical examination with an EKG to start. If you have symptoms like lightheadedness, chest pain, dizziness, weakness then you should go to the emergency room.
