Bradycardia in Teens

Posted by BrokenBones @brokenbones, 2 days ago

Are there any support groups for parents of teens with Bradycardia or low heart rates?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart Rhythm Conditions Support Group.

Here are few resources that may be helpful for your teen and for you:

@brokenbones, this must be so hard as a mom. Was this just recently discovered that your teen has bradycardia? Is treatment required at this point?

This is not my teen but a friend of mine. I’m trying to find support groups for her and / or her son who is 17. He was very active and now he just sits around playing video games.
I was so sure the Mayo Clinic would have something to help both of them deal with this. Thank you so much for responding.
