Hi
Over the past few months I have been experiencing episodes of Bradycardia. I have been taking 2.5mg bisoprolol which my go reduced to half a tablet a day as a result of the bradycardia. I have also had Levothyroxin reduced from 175 McGovern to 100. The episodes of Bradycardia were mainly during the night so not necessarily always aware of it apart from insomnia which I now understand could all be related. However, I’m not experiencing it during the day too which seems to go with AF episodes too and I wondered if anybody else has experienced this?
Does having bradycardia cause you a problem? And how slow is your heatbeat?
Hi thank you for replying. My heartbeats are as low as 30 but mostly 42-48. During the day I am more aware of it as I can feel my heart being erratic but it has mainly happened during the night up until recently and the only thing I was aware of was constantly waking up but not associating that to nothing other than insomnia.
I take it you have had a holter monitor for 24 or 48 hours or longer?
Do you feel short of energy with the slowness?
Yes had the holter, they suggested I needed a blood test to check my thyroxin levels and the medication has since been reduced. I asked for B12 thinking well if they don’t think it’s my heart maybe the palpitations are related to low B12. That was identified and now I’m having B13 injections. But now I seem to experiencing more episodes during the day. I need to go back like Pete
said and make a nuisance of myself.

Sounds like a good idea!
