slow pulse,when to report it?

My cardio recently added 2 new blood pressure meds to my other 2, verapamil and hctz(diuretic) he added lisinopril and coreg, i've noticed at night when i take my bp, my pulse runs in the 40-50's while resting,not resting its about 65, after having a month straight of very high pulse rates of 160+ i'm a little concerned about it being low, i have previously had problems with my potassium and that causing irregular HB...how low is to low? when is a good time to mentiont to my cardio the sudden drop in hr?

I would definitely report this to your doctor.  Hope you did.  The Coreg is a beta blocker and may lower your heart rate.  I am on Atenolol 25 mg a day.  This is also a beta blocker and has lowered my heart rate.   Hope things get better.

I would report any change to my cardio. 40 to 50 seems kind of low to me but I'm not a doc :-)
