Why does my heart rate drop so low when I skip my Ashwagandha pill?

I have started taking Ashwagandha more than a month ago, I took two pills a day, each capsule contains 450 mg, it helped me a lot with my anxiety. But whenever I skip a pill, I start feeling very confused,disoriented, and I get an intense brain fog.then, it all goes away when I take the ashwagandha capsule again.
At first, I didn't know why. But then I used my blood pressure monitor to see if I have low blood pressure, my blood pressure was good, but my heart was very slow, I measured it 3 times just to make sure, and it was still slow, it was 48. This is way below normal for me.
This happens every time I skip the pill, I'm too scared, I'm afraid that if I stopped taking Ashwagandha, my heart would just stop. Please help, thank you.

Your heart won't just stop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGsYpBNMjdQ

Perhaps you should stop Ashwagandha and let your body recover.  Why would you be taking it? These "herbal" medications or often just poison IMO.

In any case I'd talk to your doctor and not the internet.
