Brief Answer:
You shouldn't worry as long as you're symptomless.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

You shouldn't worry about your heart rate even that you have a slightly bradycardia. Your HR is within accepted limit for bradycardia as long as you are symptomless.

In case that you experience fatigue, dizziness and other pre fainting symptoms you should go to emergency room.

Hope this was of help!
