Same here. When I got my Fitbit I was surprised to find my RHR at 48-52 BPM, but when I asked my doctor about it he just congratulated me on a successful diet/exercise program. My medical records show that my resting heart rate was 75-90 BPM I started getting fit, and that it just gradually lowered as I became more active.

Mine has dropped with my latest weight loss and running program. Generally in the 40s, but can go into the 30s. I just talked today to my GP about it, and looked my EKG and blood work and said their was no problems at all.0

Yeah, mine is low too, rests at around 50.
When I was in hospital I too were setting alarms off. Apparently as I slept my h/r was dropping to 27bpm. The cardiologist wasn't concerned. I was though and had to have him reassure me.1 -

OP: What's your concern? If you wern't measuring it, would you know?
Well i mean, sometimes when I stand up my head starts spinning. That's one of my concerns and I thought maybe my hr was related to it0 -
Yup, mine is typically mid 40's due to high volume of swim/bike/run training. Brought 8 months of HRM data to the doctor at last annual checkup so he could validate....0

Since you are having that, go to your doctor. Probably nothing or low BP.1 -

This is a common symptom of low blood pressure. I would speak to your doctor about it. In the meantime, drink more water (dehydration can lower blood pressure) and if you have no medical issues regarding sodium, add a little more salt to your diet (not much).0 -

I agree, talk to the doc!
I'd had some bouts of orthostatic hypotension (basically getting light headed when I stood up) in the past, despite drinking close to a gallon of water per day. Generally "water follows salt" and upping my sodium intake fixed the problem.
A lot of people tend to drink enough, but then don't eat more salt when they're working out a lot!2 -

Only reason I know this is because I have chronic low bp and doc put me on a high sodium diet because I get bouts of orthostatic hypotension along with occasional episodes of vaso-vagal syncope. Such lovely big words eh?

That might be it. I eat about 1300 mg of sodium a day. I just eat foods with low sodium I'll try upping that up and see what happens.0
