My heart rate slows down

Posted , 3 users are following.

For the past week when I go to sleep I have been looking at my resting heart rate it would start at 80 then it would go all the way down to 55-60 idk for what reason I’m not athletic, and when I stand up my heart rate is 95-97 then it’s starts decreasing by 2 every time it’s goes down it stops at 60-70 is this normal all my life my heart rate  when standing up will be in the limit of 95 to 97.

    That's how it should be. I am not a doctor but after reading some articles on heart education I found that during activities heart rate goes up and at resting it slows down. Exactly this what your heart is doing. When you sleep your heart slows down because you are not doing any activities. When you go to deep sleep your heart rate is going to be even slower.
