average resting and sleeping heart rate?

Worrying and obsessing over my heart again 😓 Ever since getting sick last month, I'm back to constantly checking my heart rate and obsessing over the numbers.

Right now I'm lying in bed and I've noticed that my heart rate goes low at 55bpm. I searched on the internet and found out that it might be too low.. When I'm sleeping it averages around 50-55bpm. I'm somewhat worried about whether it is too low. However, during the day it is the opposite. My HR would reach as high as 100bpm abd even after sitting down it would still reach 90bpm.

I've have ecgs, holter monitor, stress test. Results all came back fine but I'm still worried...

I hope this helps put your mind at ease a little. I wear a activity tracker watch that monitors my heart rate 24/7.

Over the last 24 hours my heart rate has been as low as 48 and as high as 158 when doing exercises.

Currently sat on the sofa typing this is 52.

I was a night nurse for many years. I can tell you first hand a lot of heart rates went low at night.

It was great you have had all the appropriate testing done.
