Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that your pulse ox values are within the normal ranges.
Regarding your heart rate, it is a little low and indicates cardiac bradycardia.
If this cardiac frequency is persistent and you experience other symptoms like dizziness, body weakness, etc., I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG and a blood electrolytes level.
An ambulatory 24-48 hour ECG monitoring would be necessary if significant changes are identified in your resting ECG, which could be indicative for a cardiac conductance disorder.
Hope to have been helpful!
Feel free to ask any other questions, whenever you need!
Best regards,
Dr. Iliri
