Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Badycardia in your condition needs to be evaluated. You need to get few tests done for it, Serum electrolyte levels, as electrolyte abnormality can result in reduced heart rate. ECG to know rhythm of heart rate, Thyroid function test. Consult your physician for physical examination and further management.
Treatment in your condition is not needed unless you becomes symptomatic. Some hypertension medication do cause reduction in heart rate.
Need not to worry, get examined by your doctor.

Hope this helps you

Regards
