What did your doctor say about your HR?  that sounds very low.  You didn't say what medications you are on, but that could be the reason.  Discuss adjusting cardiac medications, and if that doesn't work, the possible need for a pacemaker with your cardiologist.

It's it's symptomatic, a pacemaker is the only option.  If it's not symptomatic, don't worry about.
