But they have significant decrease in heartbeat - about 5 beats per minute. For me, the difference between 57 and 62 beats per minute (with all other conditions being more or less equal) is a difference between me being healthy and having a light cold or enterovirus. E.g., it is a difference of "everything alright" and "some suspicious metabolic activity is there".

"Significant" does not mean "big" or "important" in this context. It means "not explained by chance more than 1 time out of 20 (p=0.05) if we repeated this experiment, given our data and the assumptions in our statistical model".
