Hi, I seems that you are having bradycardia. Bradycardia(slow heart rate <60beats/min)can be because of antihypertensive medications like beta blockers,Sick Sinus Syndrome or due to Thyriod Disorders.You need to arrange a appointment with your doctor ,who might change your medications and arrange to necessary investigations like ECG etc. Hope it helps.
