recently my heart rate has been 50-60 when laying down or sitting. i am 22, 5'4" female around 105 lbs.. i walk a little not a lot every day and the doctors think i have POTS but ive never had problems with low heart rate only high. im scared, is this normal at all

lower heart rate means that your heart does not have to work hard which is a good thing! Many athletes have heart rates in the 50s. That’s because they are in such great shape. Better to have a lower heart rate than a high one .

@SarahOG i have been experiencing the same . how often do you check your heart rate and why?
