Bradycardia

Posted by jadillow @jadillow, Mar 15, 2019

Hello all. After months of keeping you guys informed of my issues and heart tests that checked out ok I found myself back in er last night. I had noticed my pulse has been In the 40s and 50s when resting and last night while sitting around was in low 40s. Even reaching 39 at one point. I have been naseaus for a few days and a little lightheaded so I went late last night to Er. After all blood tests, which were good and monitoring me my resting rate was in 40s most of the time. They did X-ray and ekgand with the blood work released me stating possible sinus bradycardia. I am 36 and am very worried that my heart is going to stop still. Is the blood work a good indicator that the cardiac side is ok as he wanted to check the enzymes? Reaching out for any help

I know it can be scary. Sinus bradycardia means normal rythmn, but slow heartbeat. Be assured your cardiac tests are normal. I would see your primary dr or cardiologist if you are concerned. Symptoms with a slow heart include light head, short of breath, fatigue are some. I would keep a symptom journal. Your heart doesn't stop because if a slow heart rate. Best thing to relieve anxiety us to talk to your healthcare professional. If you dont feel they are taking you seriously find someone else

Thank you. I guess my biggest fear is my heart to stop. I just assume it’s better than a super fast rate however

What are some worrisome issues should I look for? And how do I know if it’s low that I’m ok and not panic?

Does anyone know what could cause slow heart rate in combination with a chill / cold feeling?
I've been dealing with this for some time. Sometimes I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia, other days I have this chill and cold feeling with a slow HR. I take thyroid medicine and my levels and all blood work are always normal.

short health history:
47yo male
1. I'm on Xarelto for blood clotting disorder.
2. 2015 and 2019 had DVT/PE.
3. 2017 - Had one AFIB incident, put on Multaq until this year and taken off due to no more AFIB.
4. Take Xarelto 20mg, Bystolic 0.50mg

YES! A well-known side effect of Bystolic is bradycardia (slow heart rate). Please contact your doctor and discuss this ASAP. @warpedtrekker

I have discussed with cardiologist. I'm aware beta blockers can cause bradycardia. But shouldn't cause chills and very cold feeling. I'm still trying to figure that one out with some doctors
