Mostly happens in early morning hours between 4am and 630am .. Last night lowest was 45 at about 3:30 and then back up to 57 at 3:35am.. This is from wearing a fitbit hr and I've tryed several of my family's to see if it was fitbit. I know they 100 percent tho never had this low. Reading before April . It's not every night manly in the high 40s and 50s... Resting heart rate during the day is average 61-62. I had stress test last sept did the 12 mins no problems. I had echo in feb. 16 everything normal ... Holiter moniter in early April PVC about 17000 tho cardiologist not concern .......... Holiter was on before heart rate on fitbit was dipping. ...

A low resting heart rate (below 50 is called bradycardia) is, normally no problem, as long a you do not have symptoms of dizziness, fainting or shortness of breath.
However, it is up to the cardiologist to determine if it is harmless or not.
Bradycardia does not necessarily mean that you have a thickened left ventricle, so your situation may be quite different compared to your sister's.
Still, sudden cardiac death can be caused by bradycardia so it is of importance to get the "green light" from your doctor.

O Victoria, are you really measuring heart rate at night? lol
When your cardiologist says it is no problem, be assured that it is and do not worry anymore.
Sleep well :-)
