I had a similar experience, sat in the back of an ambulance having been treated for a bad reaction to a wasp sting, they were quite happy with my vital signs till I pointed out that my normal resting heart rate was around 50 bpm and the 90 bpm that was showing wasn't right.

Steve Abraham had to see a doctor during his HAMR attempt. The medics were alarmed by his insanely slow RHR. I don't remember what it was. 1 beat per week or something ...
I like that, kinda t'other way around.
In response to an earlier comment, I'd be surprised if all cyclists (i.e. people who ride a bike) had a heart rate below 60. I'm sure some are 'normal'

Will throw hat into HR range ring.
I was an early adopter of HR (chest band) monitors and bought the top of the range Polar for iirc £200 in maybe 1984 - one of those ones that stored data: cutting edge. Still have it and put a new battery in it recently: still works.
Aged maybe mid-30s (and HRRest stayed low till 50s):
Supine before rising in the morning: lowest HRM and finger on wrist measured = 28bpm.
Two final sprint after 40 or 50 minute running races: 206 and 207bpm (measured on HRM (obv)).
Never got it over 196 on the 'run increasingly swiftly up a hill and sprint' test.
Ran an 8 and then later a 15 one race meeting and recorded 201 and 199 at the crux of the sprint coming off the top bend.
So if I was doing a set of intervals at 85%, that'd be 28+(0.85*(206-28))= 180bpm (typically 8 x 2 mins with 1 min easy).

I'm going to let the team down, I'm afraid. My resting heart rate tends to be mid 60s when awake. When asleep, no idea. As long as it stays above zero, I'm happy.
