Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your heart rate is under the normal ranges, consistent with bradycardia.
What are your blood pressure values?
Are you feeling shortness of breath, weakness, dizziness?
If you are feeling these symptoms, I recommend going to the ER for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, blood electrolytes, fasting glucose).
An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring may be needed to examine your heart rhythm trends during the day and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia.
Hope to have been of help!
Feel free to ask any other questions whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
