Heart rate concerns

2017-10-05 05:37:03
I'm 27, Male, 6' Tall, 286 lbs, Caucasian, and have had this going on for a while. I am obese and my resting heart rate has been sitting in the low 40s. It may be lower but my monitor only goes down to 40. My question is, should I seek medical attention for this? I don't take any medications. I don't seem to have any actual problems like shortness of breath or chest pains. Just concerned.
