What Does A Heart Rate Of 45 To 50 Indicate?

No harm if you have always had a low heart rate
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Unless you are hypertensive, I do not see any reason for you to be prescribed clonidine.
As you have not mentioned hypertension in your history, I cannot be sure or comment on the same. And even if you have hypertension, better selection of medications to help control your blood pressure should be chosen to help prevent a drop in your heart rate.
As for the rate of 42 beats per minute, it can be normal for certain people as yourself, unless there is an underlying heart condition which you have not mentioned. But either way, we should not prescribe you any medications that can cause a further drop in your heart rate.
I hope this answers your question. If it doesn't, or if you have any further doubts, please write to me and I would be more than happy to help.
Best wishes.
