[LonerIP]

Im 21yrs old and havent played any sports or did any exercises since 2018 because of anxiety but Should i be worried about a 52-56 bpm while sitting down but anxious ???

Hey! Usually a low heart rate is a good thing. Most heart rates go up when a person is anxious but I'm sure everyone is different. Also, the better fit a person is the slower their heart rate.

Hi LonerIP, what does your cardiologist say about your heart rate?

I read your profile that you just found out several years ago that you were born

with a PDA birth defect. Since then, you no longer go out, exercise and have been

to the ER over 30 times in a year.

I may not be a doctor but I can say that my own nephew was born with this defect.

It closed by itself over the years and he is now a healthy Chicago Fireman/Paramedic.

Sometimes when we can't believe the many doctors we have seen as well as the ER visits,

it's time to seek therapy. You're young and have a whole life ahead of you. Wishing you

well. xx
