Specializes in Endocrinology

Heart rate 50 asleep: This is most likely normal but only your Dr can tell as we do not know you. Many heart detectors on phones and watches are always accurate. If possible wear 2 at same time as compare and check them against your own pulse count at the radial artery at the base of your thumb proximal to wrist crease. Google radial pulse
