Is 48 bpm normal for an unfit sick male?

My husband is weak, nauseated, and can not do any physical activity without getting dizzy and vomiting.  He has stomach pain in the middle of his stomoch just under the sternum. Also has chest pains on left and right sides, numbness and tingling in left arm.  Weight loss, weak, fatigued, low urine output, about 100 cc at a time is all he can manage. They so far have not been able to diagnose what is wrong with him....the had him in the hospital and he had one of those heart moniters on for 24 hours and they said that nothing showed up, my question is does this clear him of the possiablity of haveing heart problems?  His heart rate at one time was 48 bpm that seems kinda slow to me....even when he was upset it only got up to 66 bpm....is this normal.  I asked his GP about this and all he responed was something about Lance Armstrongs resting hr was 30 to 40 bpm...but he has trained his self for that what does that have to do with my sick husband??? Could his doctor be missing something?

I would find another Doctor. We had a Friend who was feeling all the same symtoms (symptoms) and he went to the doctor, they ordered a Stress Test, his HR only got to 30bpm on the treadmill. They admitted him to the hospital and had to put a Pacemaker in. So please have your husband checked out.

Has he been seen outside of an ER/A&E by a cardiologist? If not, it sounds like he needs a full cardiac workup to see what's going on.  

Also the other things going on should be checked out throughly by a doctor to see why he is nauseated, vomiting and dizzy, this could be due to a vast number of things which they may send him for numerous testing.  Right under the sternum could be an ulcer or Gallbladder related and he needs to see a GI dr - it could be stones or a non functioning GB or a multitude of other things.

Maybe switch primary doctors or find a GI/internist?
