Good morning Lumps, it is quite normal to have a slower heartrate when sleeping. You should see your doctor if you have a persistent heart rate below 40 bpm and/or if the rhythm is irregular. Please feel free to give us a call or email to talk things through: 01789 867 502 info@afa.org.uk

If not doing so, would be good to ask doctor to wear a holter monitor or other medical device for an extended period to determine any issues.

Personal opinion only, prefer medical devices for most accurate reading.

I think not unless there are pauses beyond a certain length along with the bradycardia. Your GP should advise though.

Heaven knows what my heart rate is during the night when it drops naturally , it is in the 40s during the day . I feel breathless all the time, my consultant is aware and is not concerned .

Your heart rate at night will generally go up during REM sleep.

Hi

At night asleep?

Mine is averaged at 47. No worries. But on Metroprolol I had 2 pauses of 2 seconds so a clot could form.

Day H/R needs Diltiazem CCB Calcium Channel Blocker. Now 69 - 88.

Get a 24-48 heart monitor organised.
