Brief Answer:
Please refer to the detailed answer below

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I can understand your concern.

I would like to inform you that a resting heart rate of anywhere above 50 without any symptoms is usually of no concern and is normal in most healthy individuals.

So, if you are not experiencing any symptoms like giddiness, lightheadedness or feeling of fainting and there is nothing to worry about.

However, just to be on the safer side it’s advisable to kindly get a baseline ECG and an echocardiogram done.

Hope to have been helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind Regards
Dr. Bhanu Partap

Hello again

Detailed Answer:
Yes it will show the slower heart rate if it’s tere at the time of taking ecg.

Also it will help understand whether it’s a normal sinus slow rate or some issue is going on.
