I have low / very low heart rate. I obviously don't have Pots, and I know for a fact because I've been tested for it.
People with ME usually experience an increase of their resting heart rates when more fatigued. With me it's the opposite. It seems that the more fatigued I am, the lower my resting heart rate. For example, my usual resting heart rate is 48. In the last 10 days, one morning my resting heart rate was 41 and a few days later, 38. These are average values from 2 1/2 minutes of monitoring with a strap.
My heart rate does increase too much upon activity though. For example sometimes I will be at 105 from slowly walking (which is more than double my RHR).
I still have some cardio tests to do but I have been cleared of any major cardiac problem.
Anyone else in this situation ?
