I have very low energy, and the lowering rate lately COULD be related to taking the generic form of Cymbalta, an antidepressant. Prosac, a different kind, definitely lowers my heart rate (their current patient handout even says it can cause bradycardia, and it might be why I have it, because I took Prozac off and on for decades, of necessity). If it's not life-threatening, I'll just adapt, as I've been trying to do. I think the worst that would happen is that I'd faint. However, I have severe sleep apnea, so sudden cardiac arrest is a concern, too (I use CPAP). A very good way to go, in my opinion, but too often it's a stroke that results in brain damage or paralysis rather than simply death.

This is all such fun, isn't it?
