For just setting on the couch what is considered low?

60-100 bpm is normal resting rate.

60-100 is the standard resting heartbeat although many healthy people can have heartbeats in the 50's as well. I'm one of them, and I'm not active at all. And athletes can often have heartbeats in the 40's while at rest.

less than 60 is bradycardia

Anyone know what causes bradycardia or if anything can be done to raise the heart rate? My doctor doesn't seem worried, but I feel horrible when my pulse is under 52 (goes as low as 46). I also have neurocardiogenic syncope. All this happened pretty suddenly a few months ago.
