Saw a cardiologist and a heart echo, he said it's all fine. My heart rate has always been elevated in the 110-120 (smoker and lazy). Nowadays it varies in the 70s-80s-90s and after laying down for about an hour, it dropped to 60 and now I'm freaking out because even though it's normal for other people, I've never seen this number before! I'm legit scared of a 60-65 heart rate that I got up to move and get it back up.
Obsessively tracking heart rate and seeing weird results

That's actually a GOOD sign, believe it or not. Often times, HEALTHY people will have a resting heartrate of 40. Your 60 is definitely nothing to worry about, and think of it as a good thing. Your heart is healthy enough that it doesn't need to pump as hard/fast to get blood where it needs to go when you are relaxed!

Have to agree with the others, those rates are pretty good. It means that your body has recovered or is on a good way to recovery from abuse (smoking, no exercise).
My resting heart rate is between 50 and 60. That’s after I lost weight and started some exercising. Check out your blood pressure and work on lowering should it be a bit high.
I’ve been told it fluctuates all day. Mine is normally high 50’s but can sometimes be in the 90’s at rest too. It can fluctuate with what you ate, your hormones, etc. they try to keep my fathers in the low 50’s so it’s not working too hard. I understand that it’s not normal for you which is why you are nervous but keep track of it and you will notice it’s not always that low.
