Dear sir
Low heart rate is very dangerous and it poses a great cardiac risk. It is called as bradycardia. It can be regular or irregular.
it is advised to undergo treadmill test and 2 d echo scanning for further follow up and needful.
For now review your medicines for beta blockers like atenolol... if you are using, discontinue it temporarily and visit your doctor
Thanks
