Hi. I have some concerns in regards to my low resting heart beat. Here's some background :
I'm a fairly steady lap swimmer, swimming about 2 km in under 40 mins about 5 times a week. I generally do 1000 m in about 16 mins taking between 100-120 breaths and the rest is at not much of a faster pace. I usually finish up with 35 or m on one breath.
I have just had a heart monitor strapped to me for 24 hours and it came back with a dozen or so minutes where my pulse was sub- 40 with the lowest being 34. My doctor is concerned and thinks I should see a cardiologist.
I was wondering if anybody else out there has a similiar heart rate with similiar swimming amounts.
Many thanks
Eoin
Eoin,
You mentioned that you had the HR monitor on for 24 hours. Can you recall what you were doing when you were sub-40s? Perhaps was it while you were sleeping?
