You do not say whether your slow heart rate coupled with low blood pressure is causing you to faint? If so and it is impacting on your life then you must discuss with your GP who may decide to refer you to an electrophysiologist (heart rhythm expert). I assume any medication you are taking does not have the side effect of causing low blood pressure (hypotension) or slow heart rate (bradycardia).
