Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 20-year-old male. For the past several years, my heart rate has been as low as 48 bpm while lying in bed. I have no symptoms and am not an athlete. Should I be concerned? During the day, my heart rate is around 70 bpm, and with exercise, it increases to 160 bpm. It only drops to the 40s while I am in bed. Should I be worried about this?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your heart rate is normal, and the variation in heart rate during exercise and rest indicates a healthy heart. To keep your heart healthy for the rest of your life, engage in moderate exercise, avoid alcohol and tobacco, manage stress, and steer clear of fatty meals. By following these measures, you can enjoy a healthy life even into your 80s. A perfectly healthy, happy heart is a precious gift—please protect it, as your heart will protect you too.
Regards.
