Heart Rate Is Slower Than Normal Posted: 05-12-05 12:33pm
:d hiya guys, my name is teigan, im new
to this site so be easy with me!!
Im a 23 female, and im not that fit, so
when I excersise I can feel my heart at a
good pace, and my resting heart rate is
normally in the 68 to 76 mark, only lately
I have felt my heart rate slower than
normal and even had it to 56, which in all
hoesty scared the pants off me. I suffer
with anxiety, but it aint that as that
makes my heart beat faster. Ive got the
docs 2morra but just wondered if anione
else has had the same and if ya think its
owt 2 worry about, nhs help line thought I
might be anemic, but that also makes your
heart race not slow down, so I am
puzzled.
Please help
loads a love

Hi tegs,
yes I have the same thing happen. My
heart rate is normally around 64 - 70.
But when I had a holter monitor one once
trying to find out if I was suffering
anxiety or if I had a heart condition, it
showed that my heart rate while sleeping
got down to 43 bpm. The doctor assures
me that most people also get down this low
they just don't know it cause they don't
have a monitor on. Your heart rate can
go down to 30 bpm before it will effect
you - and by effect I mean you will pass
out.
I have stopped worrying about mine - some
days I check my pulse to see what my bpm
are - if I am not feeling right -but I
have learnt that this is also a part of
anxiety and I need to stop thinking about
it that way I won't get stressed!
