Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your nasal heart rate might be in fifties. In some individuals like athletes and those who engaged in daily physical activities, the heart rate tend be on a lower side and it doesn’t cause any symptoms and does not require any treatment. Your routine drugs including Xanax does not cause low heart rate and doesn’t interfere with your cardiac activity. You can go for an echo test to check whether the ejection fraction is adequate or not.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
