What Causes A Deterioration In The Heart Rate?

I have been working out on the eliptical for a while now and during my last two workouts my heart rate is only 84 and I am doing the same workout I normally do and it is usually 160 - 170. I changed machines and it still shows in the low 80's. Should I be worried?

Hello

If this decrease in heart rate has happened all of a sudden then it needs to be evaluated with the help of an ECG. As development of some kind of av block can also slower down the rate.

Kindly consult your doctor and get an ECG done.
