It could be dangerous. I had an aunt who had to have a pacemaker put in because her heart beat was too low.
If you had it tested, what did the doctor recommend?

Do you have any idea what you're normal or usual heart rate is?
Are you a runner?
My conditioning coach in college was an avid runner and his resting heart rate was 48. The nurse or technician freaked out until he told her about being a runner.
I have really low blood pressure and a pulse rate is consistently around 100 [very high]. I was told my heart had to beat more often because the pressure was so low.
Don't freak out yet. Are you in the hospital right now? If yes, then be sure to ask the nurses and the doctors that you see for the next 24 hours if this was noted and what is being done about it. If no, then the health care professional who administered the ECG must have reason to believe you'll be okay. Even so, do follow up with them TONIGHT just to make sure it hasn't been overlooked.
Hang in there and let us know what happens.

The doctor keeps my heart at 60 beats per, he gets excited if it droops below that and, I get sleepy all the time. About 72 to 80 is normal. I take Ternormin.
I would guess that you have a problem and should talk this over with you doctor. I would also guess your very sleepy all the time, you should think something was wrong. Call your doctor pretty quick.

It is uncommon and also very dangerous! A normal resting heartrate is between 80-100 beats per minute. Even during strenuous exercise, one should have a heart rate no higher than 170 beats per minute. She could be causing permanent heart damage and should see a cardiologist for a cardiac stress test and/or echocardiogram

Did a doctor tell you it was a problem. <<(question mark goes there but not on yahoo answers lol )If not I wouldn't worry about it--it is often a sign of being in very good shape. My resting heart rate is always below 60--and at times it's been in the upper 40's.Athletes in cardio-intense sports such as pro tennis players often have pulse rates in the 40's.

Your heart rate would be wonderful if you are otherwise in top condition! Heart rate is just an indicator of general health. My heart beats closer to 85 than the ideal 70, so dose my active 81 year old father.
There is so much more to health than just a heart rate!

I would recommend that you seek a heart specialist. Only he/she can determine whether you're in trouble or not. Make an appointment and make sure they hear what you have to say . Let them decide what kind of testing you should undergo. Good luck, I am a heart patient myself . So I know how you feel.

One would think this meant you're almost always able to keep your calm and keep your stress levels low. But I would like to know what your blood pressure usually is.
