Lower Pulse Rate

2021-05-15 12:13:14
My father has had a history of hypertension and is under medication for the same since past many years ( Prolomet AM 2.5). Since past 3-4 months, both in the oximeter as well as in the digital sphigmomanometer, his pulse rate is lower than normal. It is in the range 55-60. Is there anything to worry about? Or do we need to do other tests? What does a lower pulse rate show ?
