I have a regular RHR of around 48, doctor's all say its fine and I have a bradycardia sinus arythmia, found out in my first flight physical for the USMC in 1975. Flight surgeon told the panicking corpsman what it was and that "he's just a large man with a healthy heart". Lots of us that ride regularly have RHR in this range. Unless he feels off or has problems I doubt the doctor would object at all.
