What does this mean?

under 64 beats per minute?

I have heard about this and my doctor mentioned this to me as well but showed no immediate concern....stumped...

I do. My HR has been in the 50's since I had surgery. Resting HR the other day was 53. It's not something to be too concerned over.

Mine gets as low as 48 - my doctor also said it does not need to work as hard !

I haven't had my surgery yet but have lost almost 50 pounds pre-op. My resting heart beat is always in the 60's now. (started in the 80s) I was told that my heart didn't have to work as hard now that I am losing weight. But...it is always good to monitor it and share info with your doctor. (I have the fitbit Charge HR so I can check it whenever I want.)

Thanks ladies I was like sheesh my is 40 or 44 ... Scary. No pain though.

Mine is. I've been seeing a cardiologist for it. It's usually in the 40s. He said it's likely related to the vagus nerve. It's still scary and am hoping it'll sort itself out cause i feel fine even though it's low.

Mine goes down to the upper 40's when I'm on pain meds and sleepy. It's fine. Hell, there are some athletes and super healthy people that will breathe 6-8 breaths a minute because their bodies are simply that efficient.
