Brief Answer:
Don't worry, just perform a check up.
Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! Regarding your concern I would explain that a normal sinus rhythm with a heart rate at 55 bpm immediately after waking up is normal; you don't have to worry about that. If you feel that your heart beats are irregular, then I recommend you to consult your doctor (GP or cardiologist). If the presence of ectopic beats is confirmed, then an ambulatory ECG monitoring would be recommended.
Hope to have been helpful to you! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
