Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm) in adult people. If the heart beats less than 60 bpm, then it is called as sinus bradycardia. In some people heartbeat, less than 60 per minute is completely normal.

If you do not have any symptoms such lightheadedness, dizziness, fatigue, your EKG and electrolytes are normal, and you are not taking any medication that slows heart rate it is completely normal for you to have 54 bpm.

This shows that your heart muscles are in good condition and do not need to work hard to meet your body's circulatory needs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
