A normal heart rate during sleep typically ranges from 50 to 60 beats per minute. Patients with arrhythmia may experience either bradycardia (abnormally slow heart rate) or tachycardia (abnormally fast heart rate). If either condition occurs, medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital are necessary, as abnormal heart rhythms may indicate underlying cardiac disease. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of heart disease are essential to effectively manage the patient’s condition.
