57 yrs old with a RHR of permanently under 40 bpm (regularly low to mid 30's). GP doesn't seem bothered and I have not seen consultant in years (mild to moderate aortic regurgitation was diagnosed about 10 years ago). Anyone else in this position?...not sure if I need RHR issue checked or not. Run occasionally but nothing much

Great reply 👍
Thank for taking the time out to reply. Very useful indeed.
I can't comment on the smart watch but totally agree on taking your own resting heart rate. I also suggest you take it on both wrists for a full minute. You may pick up irregularities that you would miss on a 15second count x4.
Then go back to your GP with the data and ask for ECG screening. In my area there is at least a 12 week wait but get on the list. Bradycardia is considered less of a problem than tachy... but there can be issues. 5 years ago in routine GP health check this was picked up. Following a stroke three weeks ago and initial monitoring in hospital, this is now being investigated again. I am not saying worry, quite the opposite but you might also want to get on top of other risk factors that might be compounded by the bradycardia. I'm not a health specialist, just my own study of one!
Like you I was healthy and active, not worried well. It's quite possible there can be nfa but worth getting it checked. Incidentally a private ECG cost less than servicing my car.
Manual pulse detection with a couple of fingers on the side of your neck, just below your jaw line, over either L or R carotid artery is much easier than a wrist pulse
Are you on any meds - beta blocker, etc which reduce heart rate?
Wrist monitor on its own is not the best way to check ,my sports band is hardly right compared to my chest band -wrist monitor set up and I've used Heart rate monitors with chest band for years whilst cycle racing .Your true resting HR is first thing in morning when you awake ,take it then manually from wrist.
Your ambient HR is whilst you've been settled for 10 mins or so try that manually as well.
If your from a sports background you could have low HR because of training,mines usually high 40s when sitting down .
I would suggest a check by GP if it's concerning you.
At my last ECG (private) I was told it's ok but you have slow HR ,I told them about my history and they were happy with my results .
