Bradycardia

Hi. First time posting. I had an H/A. February 2022. Since then have been on loads of meds, but every now again still having chest pain and fatigue. After a long drawn out few visits to A&E finally had a 12hr heat monitor in May 2023 just been told the results by my GP.

My heat monitor showed I have Bradycardia.

Just asking if anyone else has had this diagnoses. I totally baffled by it all.

Hi Madge9664

I had temporary bradycardia from my medication after having a heart attack last year. Bradycardia is when your heart rate is slower than normal. A normal heart rate is somewhere usually between 60-100. Though it varies depending on your medical conditions, and that can determine what is normal for you.

Did they investigate what is causing the bradycardia?

Mine passed as I adjusted to the medication. If you are on medications to control your heart rate, this maybe a contributory factor.

All the best.

Bradycardia, when the heart rate is too slow, can make you feel really dreadful. Occasionally my HR drops below 60 (usually around 57-58) and I feel giddy, sick, off balance. I find for me doing something that raises my HR helps, ie going for a brisk walk. But try talking to the GP about it as there must be a reason why it keeps dropping - it may be as simple as a tweak to your medication is needed.
