Hello! I am 17 weeks ago, I had pain when swallowing and went to the doctor. There the woman told me that I had purulent angina and gave me a prescription. Then he checked my blood and looked at me in astonishment. He told me I had a slow heartbeat. I was left with my mouth open ... How can I be 17 and have heart disease. So today I went to a doctor (cardiologist) ... There they tested me on a machine and told me that I have 47 strokes in 1 minute, which is a small amount. This diagnosis is called sinus bradycardia and so ... They explained to me that if I exercise actively (as I do 4-5 times a week) it is normal, but I am very worried. If someone had the same problem or is just competent in my topic, please give me an answer;).

If the doctors told you it was normal, where's your problem? I advise you to go to a second cardiologist, but in general they are right - for sports people the pulse is like that. I was out of shape and I was raising my heart rate very fast, now I do cardio every other day and I have to increase my speed more and more to raise my heart rate above 150. ... Another solution would be for you to reduce the sport a bit ... don't put in movies - trust the doctors. They paid attention to you correctly, but when they tell you that everything is OK, why don't you believe them?
In general, in athletes, each muscle increases in volume, including the heart - it becomes larger and beats more slowly.
