I've been checking my blood pressure over the past few days and my average reading is around 14090. When I checked it a second time, it was showing 13089. Is this something I should be concerned about? Can you give me some advice?

Is it normal for my heart rate to drop below 50 when I'm in deep sleep? I've noticed my heart rate goes down to around 45 while sleeping, and it's usually around 55 when I'm just resting. Should I be concerned about this?

Yes, it is normal for the heart rate to decrease during deep sleep. A heart rate of around 45 during deep sleep and 55 at rest is within the normal range for many adults. There is no need to be concerned about this unless you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, or chest pain.
