Slow Heart Rate

[Bozzarelli93]

Ok here is my story.  I have severe anxiety and have had this for over 7 years now. I am 27 years old male.  I have been to the Er probably 50 times within the last 7 years due to anxiety attacks.  I have had over 50 ekgs within the last 7 years.....

I now workout every day and i try my best to deal with this. I have been taking Lexapro 10mg every day for 6 years now.  Within the last few months i have been very tired all day, and i have noticed that my resting heart rate is around 48-58 bpm.

I am 5'11 195 pounds, and have a muscular frame.

I had an ekg like 3 weeks ago, but my heart rate was not low at this time...

Am i being stupid?? Is my heart ok?

My heart rate has always been like 60, but because of anxiety i never know, sometimes high and sometimes low....

I am not aware of any causal relationship between a HR in the 48-58 range and being tired, rest HR assumed.  Some who normally have a resting HR of 70, say, might feel dizzy when standing with a rate in the upper 40s, and it could be a sign of trouble.  

If you haven't had a change in, or new medications, then it isn't caused, I think, by medications.

What had your resting HR been prior to the last few months?
