Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bradycardia is a slower than normal heart rate (below 60 beats per minute (bpm)). If you’re sleeping or if you’re a young, healthy adult or very fit, it can be normal to have a heart rate of 40 – 60 bpm. Bradycardia can cause you to feel faint, dizzy, short of breath, fatigued or have chest pain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Certain medications, such as those to treat high blood pressure and other arrhythmias, or abnormal heartbeats. A congenital defect, or problem you’re born with. Thyroid disease, an imbalance of hormones in the body. Obstructive sleep apnea, when your breathing pauses many times throughout the night.

Detailed explanation-3: -The normal range is between 50 and 100 beats per minute. If your resting heart rate is above 100, it’s called tachycardia; below 60, and it’s called bradycardia. Increasingly, experts pin an ideal resting heart rate at between 50 to 70 beats per minute.
