[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I monitor mine every night because I have bradycardia. I used to be an elite athlete and my heart is so slow now. It goes down to 25 at night. On a good day I’m in the lower 50s. 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.[/quote] 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. [/quote]
