I've been taking Concor Cor 2.5mg for my blood pressure, but it makes my pulse drop below 60. I've started taking half a tablet because of that. Is it okay to switch to Concor Cor 1.25mg instead of splitting the 2.5mg pill?

I've recently been paying attention to my heart rate and I'm not really sure if it's normal or not. Right as I was about to fall asleep, I checked my Apple Watch and saw my heart rate was around 50-60 bpm. Sometimes it speeds up quickly even though I don't work out much. I think maybe I'm dealing with anxiety or exam stress. Is this kind of thing normal?
Just as you were falling asleep, a heart rate of 50-60 bpm is within the normal range for adults at rest. However, if you are experiencing rapid increases in heart rate due to anxiety or stress, you may benefit from a beta-blocker medication like Propranolol. The usual dosage for anxiety is 20-40mg taken 3-4 times daily. It can help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heart rate.
