Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that this heart rate is not concerning. As long as all your cardiac tests have resulted normal, there is nothing to worry about!

You should know that a low heart rate is common in active persons, especially those who perform a lot of sport.

Your symptoms (side and neck pain) are not related to your heart rate.

They could be related to musculo-skeletal pain or inflammation, especially if the pain is triggered by body movements.

So, just relax! There is no need to perform any additional tests.

Hope to have been helpful!

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Iliri
