Hello
After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that having a heart rate that is less than 50 is not a common finding in majority of the population however this generally happens either in elderly age group or in athletic individuals who are quite active in sports and are physically fit.
If you have discontinued that epilepsy medication and 2008 then there is absolutely no chance that the effect of that medication can last for so long.
If you do not feel any kind of symptoms like lightheadedness or giddiness then there is nothing to worry for however if you feel any of these symptoms then I would like to suggest you to get a 24 to 48 hours halter monitoring done. It is basically a 24 to 48 hours ECG recording of your heart while you stay ambulatory. It will help detect Any sort of transient rate or rhythm abnormality that might be happening on and off.
I hope this information will guide you properly.
Kind regards
