Yes, me. Despite never being athletic, I always had a low heartrate, around 40. Then, when I was later diagnosed with AFib, I was initially prescribed Apixaban anti-coagulant and 2.5mg Bisoprolol beta blocker, but the latter reduced my heart rate to mid-30s and I was having dizzy spells, so it was reduced to 1.25mg and heart rate returned to low 40s. My AFib is permanent, having returned following a 6 month respite after a cardioversion, but I'm not conscious I've got it or get attacks like some people and the only reason I found I had it was when I went to GP with breathlessness which an echocardiogram showed was caused by a blood clot in my heart, happily dispersed by the Apixaban.

hi, I was having frequent episodes of AF at rest, and also had a very low HR, normally 40 at rest. I was put on a 2 week ZIO monitor which identified not only the AF but more seriously significant pauses in my HR, 6-8 secs. I now have a pacemaker and a low dose beta blocker. Hope this is helpful

thank you. Iam on Bisoporil, Rampiril , Apixaban. My blood test NT etc was 1,850 ( anything above 300 denotes heartfailure ) also Kidney EFR is 35, but must confess don’t feel too bad so mustn’t complain, thank you! PS I am 85 so not doing too badly!!!

Hi. I've always had a slow Heart Beat. Suffered for years with dizziness, fainting and various trips to A & E. My Tablets have changed so much, I've lost Track lol 😂. After a Bypass though, I fainted a few times when it had gone well below 30. They then inserted a Pacemaker and it has not happened since, thankfully
