Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to HCM. I understand your concern.

By the figures provided in your information, my the heart rate is relatively slow. It normally ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. Now, you mentioned you are on blood pressure-lowering medications. Well, there are certain drugs used for this cause, that also have slowing heart rate effect, such as beta-blockers, certain calcium channel blockers. My recommendation is that you consult your regular doctor to review the medication dosages and establish whether this is your true heart rate or not. To do so, I would also recommend you to be put on a 24-hour Holter rhythm monitor to determine what kind of arrhythmias are these that your experiencing. When the result is back, feel free to ask again.

I hope I was helpful. Take care. Good day.
