Pediatrician not internist. But quick google findshttps://www.ehealthme.com/ds/losartan-potassium/sinus-bradycardia/
My resting heart rate is 42. Has been for decades. I am 63. Exercising I have gotten up to a heart max of 163 on a heart rate monitor during all out intervals. Probably add two for what is true heart rate max.
My doctor is fine with my heart rate.
FWIW my regular exercise probably is not the cause; I exercise but I’m not doing half Ironmans lately. I think it is just familial high parasympathetic tone, a conclusion supported by the fact that one son also has a resting heart rate in the low 40s…
Several of us are low like you without being on meds. FWIW my sense is that it is not to worry if it is causing no symptoms, especially if an EKG is normal other than rate. Better than a fast resting heart rate.
