23 year old male low heart rate

Usually people with good fitness levels have lower resting heart rates, so does this sound like this could be the cause? 

Your symptoms do sound like anxiety (but lots of things do anyway) Have you mentioned to you GP about the low heart rate (most people with anxiety get tachycardia) 

Do you feel anxious? Or that it could be anxiety causing your problems? And do you had a high heart rate when you have these episodes of shortness of breath and chest pain?

If you are able to have an ECG, and a 24hr ECG, that would maybe give some more answers/put your mind at rest. These can both be arranged by the GP

Sorry to hear the troubles you going through, i can imagine it must be very difficult to get your head around all the information "overload"  ....

You say you have had tests run on you - and all is well in the eyes of your physcians - this is good news, unless you are one of the extremely rare cases or occasion, where physcians and tests have got it wrong, and when i say rare it would be very very rare. (considering your age) 

Your heart rate is perfectly normal and would not worry, easier said than practiced - but remember you have had ECG Tracing's done and can assure you if their was an electrical fault, it would have appeared! 'I could propably bet my bottom dollar that your resting ECG was probably in the fifties on the day of recording.  

Are you prescribed any medications i.e.. Antidepressants or Beta Blockers ? 

`Hi Kyle,

You doing fine and are on the journey of "Generalized Anxiety Dissorder" - Education is key to elimination of doubts and worries you may have or percieve to have, medical wise.

The reason i asked about medications - especially (Beta Blockers), is that they are very commonly prescribed for treatment of Anxiety - but the negative effect is that it can cause low blood pressure and a slow or low pulse. 

It's perfectly natural to have all your worries and more and you not alone with this, you have done the right thing turning to forums for help and support, 'have you ever considered "CBT Therapy" accessed through your local GP and or Mental Health Services - `This will enable you to help focus on and strengthen your percieved experience.   

Anxiety is a very real condition or illness and sadly claims many victims in its devastating path, but you must remember it's very normal experience in an abnormal perception to the feelings and symptoms that sadly come along with it. 

See Anxiety is real in the sense that it releases very real hormones or chemical's, namely "Adrenaline" into your body - hence the old fashioned way of saying "Fight or Flight Mode" and the symptoms of the over load of Adrenalin in your body are exhaustive. 

Sufferer feels in a constant state of high anxiety and is often known as 

‘chronic worrying’ or a ‘free floating’ anxiety condition. 

Which is perfectly normal due too the symptoms, from the excessive Adrenalin overload in ones body - causing all sorts of physical symptoms which believe it or not are quite normal - but sadly does put ones guard up and more in-tune with ones-self, both body and mind.
