+1 My heart rate is naturally high, never below 70 and often in the 90s. I’m 5’3” and petite, was 110 pounds until recently. BP is normal,

What is your TSH?

Age 55, F
Overnight HR is 47-49 and top HR is 120, doing high intensity Peloton. Always had low BP - 110/64. These are genetic, Mom has similar stats. I've never been a real athlete, but I'm a very consistent exerciser and have been lifting heavy for the last 4 years, plus Peloton/walking 3/5x weekly.

During my cardio workouts it gets up to 185 and lowers to 90 in 2 minutes. I feel the slow heart rate and sometimes get dizzy. I have to see a cardiologist annually to ensure it’s ok as I age - female 50 yrs. Slow heart isn’t always good.

This. My otherwise fit father's RHR is so low that when he was 75 and his cardiologist put him on a monitor for a few days of testing, my mom got a call in the middle of the night to wake him, and they canceled the rest of the test and immediately scheduled him for a pacemaker.

I also have a low RHR. I'm 60 y.o
and active (lots of walking, lift weights 2x/week) but not an athlete. RHR averages 54. It's much lower now than it was 10 years ago, so I assume that I too am headed for a pacemaker at some point.
