Low heart rate : Low heart rates of 46 are sometimes no concern but can be of concern. You should see a doctor. The best thing is to check and record your heart rate by using the radial pulse. https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/want-to-check-your-heart-rate-heres-how

During sleep my heart rate drops to 35 bpm. I have identified this with my apple watch and can share the data. Is this normal?

When sitting still, Apple Watch heart rate jumping from 90bpm to 39 to 80 to 45 etc within seconds. Only stays at low bpm for 5 seconds or so. Usually stays around 70-80bpm but then will start to have quick dips before stabilizing again. Concerning?

I would like to know if having an 85 beats per minute heart rate is normal that is what my Apple watch has been telling me. if it's a little high is it because I am not drinking enough water? I have been dehydrated I think.

Is it okay for your heart rate to be 41-42 when sleeping? Since June, Ive had my Apple Watch alert me to 3 separate occasions while asleep of low heart rate which is between 41-47 bpm. Ive had a 30 day monitor & it just showed sinus tachycardia?
