Sleep Apnea and Bradycardia?

I'm a newbie and still trying to gather as much info as possible concerning my diagnosis. Noticed that my EKG showed bradycardia with my pulse rate dropping to as low as 48 bpm. Is this a common occurence? I apologize up front if this is a silly question but I'm still learning.

I've had it drop that low a few times, but it's mostly around 60-64 during the day, and maybe 55 at night.
I ask the doc if I should be worried, and he replied "I should be so lucky"
However I was still concerned, so I really pushed for an EKG, and he still says everything looks great.
So who knows? ...I never had this before CPAP therapy....

Sinus Bradycardia on Emedicine.

Pathologic causes include, but are not limited to, inferior wall myocardial infarction, toxic or environmental exposure, electrolyte disorders, infection, sleep apnea, drug effects, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, and increased intracranial pressure
