Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I really appreciate it.
I think everything is fine, this is normal to have that heart rate several minutes after exercise.
Doctor. I probably rested 7 minutes before I took my pulse/bp. I used a blood pressure cuff with heart rate.
My heart usually goes up when it should.
Was this heart rate of 60 immediately after exercise or several minutes later? Did you measure it with a heart rate monitor or with your own hand on your pulse?
If this is a few minutes after exercise this may not be that abnormal. While reassuring that you had a stress test 3 years ago which was normal, it sounds to me like you are having new symptoms and a heart rate is not going up as it should, an exercise stress test with an EKG only(NO NUCLEAR or ECHO imaging) would be a start to see exactly where the problem lies, if any, in the conduction system of the heart. Before doing so, I would make sure that the heart rate is accurately measured.
