Possible health concerns before starting

I have been lifting for around 3 to 4 years now but i have had time off to recover from a surgery. I am thinking about a basic test prop 8 week cycle but before i get anywhere near that i wanted to make sure i was healthy enough before i continue. I went to my doc and got a blood test, ekg, and spoke with him on his thoughts about it. In so few words he said it would be fine if all my test came back ok. My bloodwork was fine and they said my ekg was fine but my heart rate was in the 40s. I run a few miles every week or so but im no marathon runner. He said it was fine for someone my age to have a hr in the 40s but i am still concerned. I do have anxiety and was anxious during the ekg but should this be something to worry about? Should i get a second opinion? maybe a stress test?

Dude. Your heart rate is in the 40s? That's not high at all. That's low if anything. I don't know if you got your numbers wrong, but I would be worried that my heart rate is too low, not too high. Anxiety will make your heart rate rise, not fall.

Agreed anxiety will increase heart rate not decrease. I think your good brother.

Are you thinking a resting HR in the 40's is high? B/c it's actually very low.......

I know its a low hr but i didn't know if that could be too low.
I have looked at it and i did use to do a fair amount of recreational things in college but haven't done anything besides drinking and smoking cigarettes since. I got an EKG in college and they never mention my hr was so low. Do u do a lot of cardio?
No, i know its low i just thought maybe it could be bad for another reason that working out. Maybe that sounds dumb but i am just an anxious person.
took me forever to post this because of the spam blocker. very annoying...
