Heart rate below 50

Posted , 4 users are following.

hi guys!

i got diagnosed with graves disease two years ago, ended up having RAI and now hypo for life on levothyroxine 125mg, my heart rate is currently 64, but i notice this dips in the day to below 60, then in the evening to below 50, is this normal? is this just the levothyroxine wearing off throughout the day? i suffer with health anxiety at the moment so worried it could be something like heart failure. 😦

    I don't know what's normal for you but people's heartbeat can vary considerably. However, if this concerns you, I think you would be justified in seeing a cardiologist to check it out. A heartbeat below 50 could be a problem and falls outside the normal parameters.

    Exercise. Yoga is good for heart rate issues. Its not heart failure, if it was heart failure, you would not be posting messages, you would be in intensive care.
