Bradycardia?

---

My resting heart rate is usually 55-65. It says on the internet that this could be a sign of Bradycardia. I am not overly concerned about this, I just wondered if a low resting heart rate could indicate fitness as well as a heart problem?

I excercise for about 1-2 hours every day, and complete a 14 mile run once a week currently. (with shorter runs and bike rides in between)

My BMI is 24.5 and falling.
your resting heart rate it totally normal. you are not classed as bradycardic untill you heart rate falls under 48bpm. fitness is the prime factor in having a lower heart rate. NOTHING to worry about i promise you  (+ info)

bradycardia?

My pulse is right at 60 per minute right now sitting in this chair. That's the borderline for bradycardia.

Is that cause for concern?
I think its' cause me to have a much harder time getting up in the mornings and perhaps muscle aches.
you might not have bradycardia because for some people a normal resting pulse of 60 is perfectly normal, but that depends if you work out alot or if your an athlete. If you do work out alot or are athletic then you have nothing to worry about. That's why you have muscle aches from working out. However, if you're not working out alot or are athletic then you should go see a doctor.

What is the most commen cause of bradycardia?

---

Suffering from symptomatic bradycardia ( dizziness, heart palpitations ). I have been suffering from this for the past 10 months. ECG, and Echo have not revealed any diagnosis. Worried that it could be due to coranary artery diesease. Heart rate gets down to 37bpm. The cardiologist have reffered me to neurology. I tend to believe this is a cardio problem considering the evidence. The heart palpitations make sleeping almost immpossiable due to the unpleasent pounding i feel. It seems by the research I have done, that most causes are benign, with the exception of cad. If anyone could answer this question it would be greatly appreciated.
I am a cardiac nurse. I don't know why a doctor would refer you to a neurologist for this problem. You have severe bradycardia. This usually is associated with the sinoatrial node which is the hearts natural pacemaker. When there is a heart rate this low it would indicate in my experience that you are having some type of problem with the natural pacemaker and you may need an implanted pacemaker. Please ask for a referral to a cardiologist, neurology does not seem to me to be the appropriate for what you are describing.  (+ info)

What is the difference between Bradycardia and Sinus Bradycardia?

---

An EKG revealed two years ago that I had Bradycardia.

Now, it says Sinus Bradycardia.

I dont have a good dr. sorry for the dumb question.
What is the difference ? Should I be worried?

Resting heartrate is 42-47
Bradycardia and Sinus bradycardia are pretty much the same thing.

I think if you had another arrhythmia the EKG would have said so. If all it said was Bradycardia or Sinus Bradycardia they are the same.

42-47 is a little slow. You may have some kind of conduction delay. You may want to ask a Doc or better a cardiologist about it. But if your blood pressure is good with that rate your OK for now.  (+ info)

What are the causes of low blood pressure and bradycardia which result in symptoms?

---

So I mean not like when it is just naturally that way, or because you are really fit...

What causes these things when they produce symptoms?
Certain heart conditions can cause low blood pressure when the heart is unable to pump enough blood. Heart attack, bradycardia, or low heart rate,

what are some ways a person can get bradycardia?

I'm married to a person that has bradycardia , heart beat to slow. I'm very healthy never had any problems and take very good care of myself- what is the chances of me having a healthy baby by a person with bradycardia
As far as I know, you (or the father) cannot transmit/pass on bradycardia to your baby. Bradycardia is NOT like an infectious disease (e.g. HIV/AIDS) or a congenital condition (e.g. Down sydrome) that can affect the development and health of your unborn baby. Bradycardia can be caused by many different things such as: malfunctioning in your own cardiac electrical system (congenital or sudden injury to the heart); from other disease processes (inflammation of the heart; endocarditis); or from medication side effects (e.g. too much Digoxin). Check out the website below for an overview of the many possible causes of bradycardia. Hope this helps. . . Good luck!

What probable risks are attributed to untreated bradycardia or tachycardia?

---

The treatment is delayed due to non-availabilty of hospital facilities on account of prior bookings.
With Tachycardia the heart pumps less efficiently and provides less blood flow to the rest of the body, including the heart itself. It means that the person who has it could have parts of their body die, from not having enough blood flow and the cells dying from oxygen starvation.

Bradycardia on the other hand, is considered normal if the individual has no other symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, chest discomfort, palpitations or shortness of breath associated with it.

I hope that helps.  (+ info)

Any one being treated for bradycardia?

---

I am a 56 yo female who went to the doctor for dizziness and found out that I have bradycardia, with a pulse ranging from the mid 40's to mid 50's. We are waiting for the 24 hr Holter monitor results. I had a heart cath last year and there were no blockages or narrowed arteries. I would like to hear what treatments others are receiving or have received and the results.
Bradycardia, or a slower than normal heart rate, may be benign (as in the cases of athletes) or clinically problematic. Since you already have symptoms (dizziness), it means that your bradycardia is affecting you by causing your heart to not deliver enough blood to your brain. If your heart rate stays persistently slow, your doctor may decide that its in your best interest to install a permanent artificial pacemaker.

On the other hand, your dizziness may be totally unrelated to your bradycardia. Getting your rate documented on Holter and correlating it with the timing of your dizziness may provide evidence of one versus the other.

Good luck.

Is there any specific treatment fo heart diseases relating to sinus bradycardia? Can Ayurveda be relied as a s?

---

Are the medicines prescribed by Ayurvedic cardiologists safe and curative?
the specific treatment would be to place a pacemaker. This will give the heart a little shock, when the heart rate gets below 60, which will cause the heart to beat. The heart rate would not go below 60. A defibrillator would not be helpful in this. It gives the heart a large shock when the heart is beating too fast.
To place a pacemaker, a 4 inch incision is made usually on the left upper chest. There, they place a metal box a little bigger than a zippo lighter. They will also be attatching wires to the heart that the electrical current will travel. In most cases, this is an over night hospital stay.
I'm not quite sure what the second part of your question is asking.

Why does fetal bradycardia result from maternal hypothermia and hypoglycemia?

---

And to clear my name from what the two lovely ladies stated about me below, no, I am not trying to get someone to do my homework for me. I have an exam Friday and this isn't even on there. I'm just the type of person who likes to learn more than what may or may not be on the exam. So they can cool their jets.
