Low heart rate

There is a fair amount of trolling here but you will find some gems.

Heart Rate

They say a normal rate is between 60 - 100 … but my Garmin has been giving me abnormal heart rate warnings since I got it a ago. I’m going to see someone to be safe - but check an average day I’m not an active person so I’m unfit - but surely this is too high? This is at home …

Wait...

I thought a low heart-rate is good? The fitter you are the slower it is right?

Heart rate is a good indicator for how much stress your body thinks its under. There are so many endocrine, environmental and mental factors involved.

To know if someone is fit, take BP, heartrate, recovery rate and vo2 max into account.

Eg. My resting heartrate is normally sub 60, but it's gone as low as 45. My BP is consistently 120/80 or thereabouts. My recovery rate is about 40 beats per minute. (How fast your heart recovers from a bout of exercise) And I have zero idea what my vo2 max is.

Fit is multi-faceted and you need to train each part.
 
Having a low resting heart rate is good but not sure your normal heart rate should be low.

At my peak I had around 42 bpm while meditating. After a few recreational pharmaceuticals nowadays, it's ~120bpm.

I have HRV to be a great indicator of how much stress my body is under.

maybe you have a double beat .if really high get a scan .

I was on ECG three times last 6 months and tests. 3 different doctors. Went to them because of a weird beat every few months. All three echo the same story, they can't find anything. Have beta blockers for when it happens again or to use if HR goes way over 75.
 
Lol.

Did the GP do your bloods ? What's your serum potassium sitting at ?

Don't change to potassium salt as suggested earlier. Either your GP is not very good or has a good reason to suspect what he/she suspects. Since your GP knows you properly I would assume they on to something.
