Question
Hello doctor,
I play sports normally and my heart rate beats 44 beats/min. When you sleep, you often have to lean to the right to sleep easily. The doctor asked me if my heart rate of 44 beats / min is dangerous? I thank you.

Hello,
With the question “Is a heart rate of 44 beats/min dangerous? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your heart rate 44 times / minute is slow compared to the standard of a normal person. Especially after sports activities, such a slow heart rate should be classified and evaluated specifically: What type of bradycardia (is it sinus rhythm or not, is there any accompanying arrhythmia, etc.) make you uncomfortable,...)
You should go to the hospital to do Holter electrocardiogram (24h electrocardiogram) to confirm the specific diagnosis.
If you still have questions about the heart rate of 44 beats / min, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
