I've always had a low heart rate, but lately I have been feeling weird every now and then, if I sit and think about my heart beating, my chest will get tight and I will have a shortness in breath, I will also have a chest pain around my heart... I am not sure if this is mainly due to the fact I am thinking about it, and thus am worrying over nothing and it is all in my head, of it there is a problem
My resting heart rate, that I just took, was at 49 or 50 beats per second... I am 19 years old
