A member asked:

Resting heart rate of 48 bpm. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: It depends on your age and physical condition. An elete athelete may have a normal resting rate of 48. It can also be low from medication like a beta blocker. A low heat rate could be suggestive of a heart conduction problem. It would be best to check with your physician.
