My resting hr was about 62/63 avg, but in last week dropped to 57, and saw it was even 46 in bed one night. i've run 228km this year so quite fit. esophagitis last 2 weeks and on ppi and clean diet. is the change normal? to ease my paranoia haha?

I don't think those heart rates are of concern in an athletic young person. Symptoms suggesting otherwise would be lightheadedness, fatigue and marked shortness of breath on exertion. Consistent heart rates in the 40's during daytime activities would be of concern,however and would warrant EKG & outpatient heart monitoring.to look for sick sinus syndrome, heart block,etc.
