What would make some ones pulse rate drop ?

Question

in a 52year old it droped 2 40 what could be the reason

Answer 1

Everyone's heart rate is different, and the older you get the slower your heart rate becomes. Athletes tend to have slow resting heart rates because they have very efficient cardiovascular systems, so it's normal for them. Some people of all ages just naturally have slow resting heart rates.

Answer 2

You could be dehydrated.  Drink Gatorade to replenish your electrolytes or drink water & something salty.

Do you feel dizzy or lightheaded?  Weak? Unsteady?  If so, you could  be having a problem with one of your heart valves & should get it checked out by a MD.

If it goes down any further, go to ER.

Good luck
