BY TEAM FOURTH FRONTIER DESK

In some individuals, such as highly trained athletes, a heart rate of fewer than 60 beats per minute may be normal.

If you have symptoms such as dizziness, fainting and shortness of breath with a low heart rate, you seek medical attention immediately.

Do you feel a lack of energy & stamina or a fluttering of the heart while your heart rate is under 60? Then you must worry about these symptoms.

Further, you must worry when your heart rate drops into the 60s. This is the condition where your brain doesn’t get enough oxygen.  (Source: Cleveland Clinic)
