Slow heart rate

When i went to bed last night i checked my heart rate and it was below 60. When i got up this morning it was the same thing and all throughout the day it was the same as well. I have had a headache all day and it will not go away. It is in my eyes and face hurts. I am cold and tired. I am on the following medications. Robaxin for my back, prednisone for my back, z-pack for a sinus infection and that is it. I was wondering if any of these medications can cause the slower than normal heart rate and if this is normal. on new years eve i had an ct angio done, a ekg done and blood work done which tested for tropinin and they said that everything came back normal. I dont feel bad otherwise and i dont know if i am just working myself up for nothing. Please can anyone give me some insight on what to do as i am not able to take off of work to go to the doctor for anything. I am trying to feel better and it seems that i am getting worse and not better..

I was taking prednisone when this happened and after a couple days i quit the prednisone because i was not feeling right. I was on it for my back. I think that might of had something to do with it.  It has been ok since i have stopped the medication

Sounds like a relaxed heart rate.  Mine is often that slow, or slower, and I think it's great, a good sign.
