Just home today after getting a pacemaker. 56 yrs old always been super healthy, went to walk in clinic feeling light headed, heart rate was 28 bpm. I knew it was bad when they sent me to their competitors hospital. I drove myself against their wishes, then an ambulance transferred me 80 miles to St. Lukes in Milwaukee, had surgery in a matter of hours. No one could believe I was walking around and doing normal things laundry, driving etc. Thank you God!
You may have been dehydrated, most docs don’t have experience working with someone healthy and think they are sick if heart rate is low. I biked 32 miles today and ran a mile afterwards but drank 100 oz of fluids with electrolytes. Added a teaspoon of salt to each water bottle. Salt is not the problem; sugar is.
Hello mam, I did ecg ,EKG and holter. Ecg says sinus bradycardia and holter shows minimum heart rate of 38 and maximum was 130. The average heart rate was 59. Pause greater than 2.5 second is 0. Maximum absolute st changes was +2.8 at 4:30 am. I use to do exercise regularly before not now. I haven't experienced black out or fainting. What is the cause ? Do I need to implant pacemaker . I am 33 years old male and 69 kg
@@RahulSahs Hello, how long have you had this bradycardia? what is your lowest bpm per minute? what are all your symptoms? where does this bradycardia come from? Are you taking any medications for it? what do the cardiologists and specialists you have seen say? what do they offer? Do you work despite all these symptoms? how long have you had this bradycardia? if not, how old are you, if you don't mind? thank you
Your video is the best medicine for those of us who get 40 beats at rest but goes up to 120 when we excersise! Every once in a while I'm coming back to watch it just to make sure. Thank you Doctor from the bottom of my ...heart!
True to that, just around 15 days ago my heart rate suddenly went from 60s to 40s and my Apple Watch started to give me alerts “as I set it to notify me if it’s below 48bpm”. Did all the test and everything seems fine it’s just changed apparently, I still walk 3 miles and run around 3 miles everyday, still doing my weight lifting daily for 45 min to an hour. Sometimes it’s just good to hear experiences and explanation of others to ease the anxiety
Feeling like my heart rate is lazy as shit, did some deep breathing and oxygen level goes up so pulse drops like a stone, "I'm taking a break, call me when you need me".
I'm serious here when I say that God has led me to this site. Thank you, Dr. Gupta. I have very low blood pressure and bradycardia. Having a nuclear stress test next week. You are a gift to all of us. 🙏❤
Great talk! One other factor is being athletic tends to lower heart rate. I am 76 years old and have been running for 50 years, currently at about 250-270 miles of running per month. My resting heart rate in the morning is 35-39 bpm. While running it is typically 120 or so bit I can push it to 150-160 without feeling tired. I live in Boulder City, Nevada and this time of year I often run at 40-45°C with no problems. A lifetime of running has kept me young! I regularly run with a 31 year old friend and he is amazed that I can run at 76, me too actually.
I hope your story will encourage people to become healthier rather than make them feel even worse because I'm guessing most people are watching this video because they are worried about their slow heart rate. HOPEFULLY it's not due to a medical condition for them.
Same as you more or less, 57 years old, 30 years of running, resting HR 30 to 45. Endurance running between 110 and 122. Congratulations ,you are running great!
Long may it continue for you both but I’m 66 and until a few years ago I was in the same position. Then AF and my resting pulse dropped to 30 from the low 40s and maxing out at about 110. It isn’t all about looking after yourself as I know from personal experience.
Thank you, doctor. This really helped put me at ease. My heart rate when sleeping is in the low 40s, so I was a little concerned. But the "if your blood is getting around and is oxygenated and you're not seeing any symptoms, then don't worry about your heart being more efficient"
I wish my cardiologist would take the time to explain things this way. You are a credit to your profession sir! I wish I could speak to you regarding my diagnosis.
@dani cali so you're possibly not getting good circulation to the brain and talk to your cardio about it but your heart still won't just stop. ❤ I know it is so anxiety inducing but our hearts are AMAZINGLY resilient, let alone the whole body. We don't die easily!
Me 2. I'm always checking my pulse. I'm on day 8 of NOT checking my pulse.. I'M a 6'2, 325lb man and my resting pulse is between 52-62...and I fear that something is wrong because I see so many videos and websites saying normal pulse is 60-100. I used to weigh 440lb and my resting pulse was 75-85. Once I lost the weight that is when my pulse dropped, but the anxiety kicked in even worse due to my lower pulse.
@Zain844 that's not true I suffer from anxiety,panic,ocd ect and I'm on medication for it in the beginning my blood pressure and pluse would go extremely high but over the last couple of weeks it been like 89/53 with a pluse of 55 so trust me when I say it's very possible
I would just like to say thank you so much for this video about low heart rate. I've been worrying about my 57 to 60 BPM heart rate being too low. I've on Amlodipine 5mg and a low dose beta blocker. I feel absolutely fine and I really needed this video for reassurance thank you, thank you, thank you . Having a consultant cardiologist give advice is worth its weight in gold to me . I wish you well for the new year.😊
Hi Dr. Gupta. I have a connective tissue disease called Ehlers Danlos syndrome and along with it come so many lovely comorbitities like POTS and dysautonomia. I've recently been having bradycardia at night and I just wanted to tell you that hearing you say my heart won't just stop made me instantly burst into tears. This is such a terrifying experience and even though sometimes I can help myself by doing vagus nerve activation the fear that my children will wake up to a dead mother is so real and it's affecting me every day of my life. I've been brushed off because of a normal ekg and I'm using your videos to empower myself. Thank you. You might not realize how much you're helping some of us, but you really are. Thank you, and may you always be blessed
Hi ! I am also an Ehlers Danlos person - nite time heart rate is 48-51. Low Pressure too but no symptoms. Yes - have dysautonomia. ( and 10 or so other diagnoses) Do either of you have Rh negative type blood and/ or left handedness in family ? I have both. Ehlers - Danlos - very mysterious.
I am going to keep a journal... My heart goes down into the 30's without feeling dizzy. I am glad to hear that I am okay. When it is in the 30's I can feel my heart beat heavily and in the 40's I can feel it but not as hard. Thank you for easing my thoughts. I thought it was anxiety. But I guess not.
Thank you Doctor... I have a heart beat rate of 40-45 since 2015. I had done all my Eco test , ECG and was found normal. Not much medication advised so I forgot about it since then. I do my regular exercise daily at home. Again when I did my heart rate today it was 39. I don't feel dizzy or have blackouts. But was worried and thinking what to do. After seeing your video I am feeling more relaxed now. Thank you Doctor for your informative video. God bless you 🙏
Doctor I had a surgery for kidney stone removal . Before surgery the The cardiologist checked my low pulse rate which was around 40 and Dr advised me to fixa temporary pace maker before the operation which was done, and surgery completed. He also said to fix a permanent pace maker. I am confused since my pulse rate was low since 2015 and till date I do my regular exercise and never blacked out . Pls advise
I,m 85 extremely fit yet for 20 yrs doctors send me to ER [been 5 times] my ECGs are unreadable yet I have no symptoms and can box for hours ,going for an halter now for the 5 th time with a new surgeon ,oh my pulse averages 39 and 32 is nothing new

Thank you for this video. I had a pacemaker fitted 7 months ago and have been concerned that my husband’s resting pulse is also too slow as it is in the 50s. As he assures me that he is never light headed, mine often was, you have put my mind at rest. ❤
Thank you doctor for explaining the slow beat of the heart and the reactions, you made my day. My apple watch was throwing below 50 while sleeping & I was a bit panic to understand why this is happening.
My dear Doctor Sanjay Gupta, thanks for putting my mind at ease. Twenty-five years ago, my family doctor was really concerned that my heartbeat could drop as low as 40 BPM. He finally came to the conclusion that my heart was working very efficiently and that was the explanation. I was at that time 49 years of age. Recently, I had an EKG done and my cardiologist consultant picked right up immediately that my BMP was less than 60 and in the mid 40's. He ordered that I maintain a log of my BP in the AM and PM before taking medications for a period of 15 days. At the end of the 15 days I could either fax, mail or drop the log off at his office. He further order that I should wear the Holt Monitor for a period of 14 days. Of course there is a waiting period of this time and I will be fitted on December 5th. Yes, I have been worried that my heart could in fact stop and that I could have a heart attack or stroke. Again, thanks for putting my mind at ease. I don't know where this journey will end concerning my low heart beat but I believe the outcome will be good as I do not feel dizzy nor have I ever blacked out.
I appreciate your enlightening perspective on low heart rate while sleeping. I was concerned for months about a less than 40 BPM while asleep. Other videos and online research only added more confusion. My cardiologist didn’t reply to my inquiries. This makes sense and puts me at ease. Many thanks!

This is a great video. Anxiety makes me worry about my heart alot. Last night right before falling asleep my HR got down to 49 and it freaked me out. I have to quit worrying about this.
Hey Doc it’s just amazing how I stumble across your videos JUST WHEN I’m going through something stressful like low heart rate in this instance ..... you’re quite literally a God send...you should know that!!!! because each time I’ve found you it’s been accidental and I’d been battling either with anxiety induced palpitations or something or the other to do with bradycardia or ectopic beats...I then got a halter monitor put on for 24 hours and was diagnosed with atrial ectopy. Anyhow just wanted to leave a comment as you said you’d like that and I also wanted to share my gratitude! I have not met a Heart Doc as detailed and half as knowledgeable as you Dr Sanjay .... I’m so lucky to have found you !! So much love and kindest regards from Pakistan! Xoxo

I watch your videos all the time. My resting heart rate is 56-58 and I was nervous why it was slower than normal. I have no symptoms. Thank you so much for this video.
I was very scared because my heart rate was 43, I am 75 yrs. old, But your video made me feel much better; the highest it has gone is 53. Thank you so much.
Thank you sooo much! I have anxiety and when I saw my heart rate went down to 57 bpm while I was laying down and about to go to sleep, I FREAKED OUT because I literally don't exercise or work out for my pulse to be so low tike that! To the point that I didn't sleep just to keep checking my pulse. After watching your video, I can now sleep.. Thank you soooo much.😘
Yes, thanks doc. My doc/ hospital said my heart rate was too slow at 50bpm and stopped that hbp medicine although I had no symptoms that you cited. Apparently they're working at some outdated information . I'm not surprised.
You are so polite and courteous and funny... besides being simply educational in a simply understandable tone! I've recently started watching many of your UA-cam posts and yesterday started following you in Instagram. Aloha from Hawaii 👋
Awesome video very informative My heart beat dropped to 73 and got scared So I opened up UA-cam And yours was the only one that made sense It was late at night when this happened so it made complete sense Thanks so much
Dr. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos out. Ever since I can remember I’ve always had a resting heart rate around 55 and when I sleep it sometimes dips to around 48. When I get up and walk around it goes up into the 90-100 mark. I had Covid in sept 2021 and since then have had major anxiety. I’ve went to the ER twice and two different hospitals have said they see no issues with my heart. The reason I went is because I was light headed and felt fatigued and with that my slower heart rate. In December 2021 I wore a heart monitor for two weeks and that result was I had some PAC’s and PVC’s, no signs of blockage or abnormal arrhythmia. They didn’t see any cause for concerns. To this day however I am still light headed and fatigued. I didn’t feel this particularly way before Covid. I’m still trying to get it in my mind that it’s just Covid symptoms.
I feel the same, Mr Garcia. My resting heart rate is usually around 55 and dips to 49 to 52 while asleep. I think the issue of fatigue or tiredness is the anxiety brought about by the Covid situations. I have anxiety issues too, thinking something is wrong with my heart until they did some tests in the hospital and found nothing is wrong with my heart. Now I know I have to work on my stress level so that I can control my anxiety situations.
@@delebabatunde6072 I understand completely. I’ve noticed if I’m tired or stressed my heart rate seems to be slower. I’m also currently correcting adrenal fatigue. My hormones were messed up. My estrogen level was to low as was my progesterone. I’m on natural supplements and it’s been helping also with proper clean eating diet. Right now though I have a head cold and my heart rate is lower than it usually is. I’ve also been to the hospital many times in the past had multiple EKG’s done and blood work chest x rays and even worn a heart monitor for 2 weeks 24/7 and they haven’t seen anything to be concerned about. But I to have to keep my stress levels down and anxiety down also.
By chance are you experiencing unusual digestive symptoms such as bloating? Perhaps there is influence from the Vagus nerve. Some GI conditions can actually slow the heart causing frequent PVCs. Other neurological issues could as well.
@@fjs1111 yes I’ve been very bloated. I’ve since started to take probiotics and cut back on sugars, processed foods, caffeine and the bad carbohydrates. I’ve also been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue, low estrogen and progesterone. I’m currently seeing a holistic doctor and taking natural supplements to correct these issues.
I’m 19 years old, healthy and fit and have been dizzy/light headed almost constantly for around 2 months now, my health anxiety brought me to loads of conclusions but after a few appointments with my GP, we discovered low heart rate/irregular rhythms and high systolic blood pressure, been referred to a cardiologist and to get an ECG done, so hopefully will get some kind of diagnosis and treatment after that - will come back to this once I’ve had it done✅ (Edit) - ECG came back absolutely fine haha, no idea what the issue is then
@@sshreyas8599 me neither haha, shits horrible I can’t lie, realistically I think it could be related to some weird anxiety attack I had (first one I’ve ever had) on the 27th Dec, the dizziness/off balance feeling started since then and is only just starting to feel as though it’s gradually going away
@@sshreyas8599 I have been a few times, she said that nothing seems to be wrong with my head (in terms of something like multiple sclerosis or brain tumour - extreme stuff) and that she wanted to have my heart reviewed by a cardiologist, I’ve got an ECG booked in for Monday 6th March so will see what that shows
My heart beat at rest ranges between 55 to 62. I was a bit concerned about my heart beat being at rest 55. I am 67 years old, male. By chance, I happen to see this video and so was interested to understand what my low heart number meant. You have explained the issue in such a way that even a lay man could understand what it meant. Well explained sir. I now feel relaxed that having lower heart beat is not a matter of concern till one feels symptoms as described by you. I don’t have these symptoms at all. Thanks for explaining it in simple language. I was carrying this concern for long period but now I feel relaxed on this front
Gotta tell you I love your videos! I am 67 and have had 6 strokes, open heart surgery for mechanical mitral valve, I have HOCM and vascular disease. Oh and also suffer from Afib! But still keep recovering and one would never know I have had so much trouble. Took me a long time to come back from a few strokes especially my first stroke which was a brain stem stroke, I could not walk or talk for a while. I really appreciate all the good information I get from your channel, we all know when we go to doctor we never remember what we wanted to ask until we are out the door. So thank you so much please keep sharing all this good information.
beautifully explained and illustrated. This has helped me a lot. Thanks again for everything you are doing to help others. You have a gift and you are generous with it.
Dr it’s one of the most encouraging and enlightening information I ever get on bradycardia, I’m in this bracket and is an elderly very active i must let you know nevertheless most of my concerns and fears is being addressed by you . Thank you and I’m a follower from now.
Thank you so much! I needed someone to reassure me regarding my lower than normal heartbeat. It normally reads around 50 when I am at rest. Many thanks, Doctor!
Our cardiologist (🇨🇦) is pleasant enough but is very clinical. Orders tests, meds, brief difficult to understand synopsis of his findings and says see you in a year. 😅. I’m 75 with LBBB and husband is 77 with Bradycardia. You are my go to YT cardiologist, Dr Gupta, when I want the real lowdown on our conditions. 😊. Hubby just wore Holter for 2 weeks and had his yearly Echocardiogram. Came here to get prepared for the coming follow up appointment. Always know that you are appreciated for your clear & reassuring videos!!! 🙏🏼 🤩
Wow this video just took away so much stress from me 😊 now I can smile ! My doctor called me yesterday saying that my heart rate is slow ( 40 ) but after watching this video I can think and function much better now ! Thank you Dr. Guptar you are amazing !
Thank you Dr for explaining this information to me, I’ve got Bradycardia and no one at my hospital or Drs surgery has taken the time to explain this in such detail to me, I was fitted with a loop recorder for 3 years and I kept getting phone calls from the hospital telling me my heart rate is slow “ which I know “ but they didn’t actually do anything about it so I’ve had the loop recorder removed today , listening to this detailed information has put my mind at rest and now I can get on with the rest of my life without any worries ❤️
This just helped me so much. I will go to bed with less worry tonight. I am so grateful to you and to everyone who has commented here. Now I know I am not alone and others have this too and are living just fine. I am overjoyed.
THANK YOU for this video! Exactly what I needed to hear because my naturally lower heart rate (and blood pressure)has been even lower lately---40 the lowest when I sleep(according to my Fitbit), and it was making me a bit paranoid. This really eased my mind! Do you have a video about low blood pressure? When Im relaxed in my bed, it goes as low as 94/66. I FEEL fine, but seeing such low numbers....especially for my age(60)is a little scary. Im very active, eat healthy & at a good weight, but even after a vigorous walk or bike ride, my BP will only go to like 114/66. Blessings to you & yours.
Hot dang, I love this dude! I wish we could FaceTime every morning to calm my anxieties:) Sometimes I curse these Fitbits and other devices that enslave those of us with health anxiety. Thank you Dr.!
I know I never knew my heart rate was going down to 46 at night until the dang Apple Watch.. now I’m having a terrible panic attack. But this is helping.
Cause of my suddenly drop in heart rate... And anxiety caused by it... I literally stopped wearing my Apple Watch 😅 and it really reduced much of my anxiety
You are God sent. Just woke up to my Fitbit going off again because I fell asleep and my HR fell to 50. I panicked, but because of this video I can now go back to bed without fear.
Thank you so much . I’ve been very concerned in recent times about my low heart rate but your explanation has put my mind at rest. I’m 58 now but have been a lifetime endurance athlete through my 20s to early 50s. I would regularly wake at night with dizzy spells that scared me but would ease if I walked around for 5 minutes at drank some water. Recently I have been monitoring my hr especially while sleeping. It would regularly go below 40 for short periods while asleep which concerned me. However since I stopped competing and just excercising in the comfort zone I rarely have lightheadness.
Thank you for the information and videos you provide very informative!!! I wish doctors would explain the stuff to us when we go to pay them lots of money to go see them!!
Thanks for the video. I’ve always had a resting heart rate around 60 - 70. I’ve been trying to loose some weight, over the past few years I’ve lost 50lbs. Recently in the past three weeks my Garmin watch has alarmed with a slow heart rate of 40 in the morning. No dizziness or other bad symptom. I still ride my bike 5 to 10 mile a day or walk. Setting up appointment for a consult with cardiologist to be careful.
Thank you Sir. My HR is always arround 55. I clarified with many Doctors. They said it was normal and not to be stressed. But nobody well explained like you. Now I am relieved.
Dr Gupta. Thank you so much for addressing this topic. I was worried when my heart rate was 56 and having a compensatory pause. I do feel relieved now. I am going through menopause and I would think hormones play a big part in my ectopic beats. Thank you again!

@@yz4867 I mentioned I was 78 years old. I have not consulted a cardiologist because, if I have a problem, it would be with my thyroid being sluggish, not my heart. Besides, I subsequently found out that a slow heart rate, when you are resting/sleeping, for example, is quite normal which is when mine was in the 40’s. Thanks for your concern, and I appreciate your wanting some information on bradycardia.
This is brilliant. Education is the key ingredient missing in healthcare. People don't need medications as much as they need to be educated in a way that they can understand.
I'm due to get a pacemaker in two days, you have put my mind at ease. Thank you so much! I'm 77 yrs. Old and don't really have any outer symptoms but my pulse is up to 70 and down to 35 and anywhere in between, even lower while sleeping. It never gets high.

I was worried of my mother slow heart rate. I consulted to our family physician ( Cardiologist ) . She stopped two medicines ( 1. Cordarone 100, 2. Lenoxin0.25 ). Your explanation reduces my tension.
This video and this channel is one of the best on YT! 100% LOVE to you, dear Doctor! I am 50 years old, former smoker, kinda heavy especially around the waist, no alcohol and no fast food or fizzy drinks or so...just veggies, fruits, and some meat or fish. I did ECG, X-ray, Echo, Holter ECG...etc...my heart pressure is sometimes 155/90 and sometimes 130/70 while resting. My pulse was always my concern because just sitting on a chair and the pulse is 55 bpm. While sleeping is going to 47-46 bpm. When I walk is 65-90 especially if I also speak at the phone. I do not have angina and my heart was OK on all tests. Now I need to do an endocrinologic test to see if is a chemical/hormone issue. I wish you all the best!
@@Urdutv447 Hi. Yes, I am OK. It seams that my severe vitamin D deficiency is the culprit + a generalised anxiety that somatized. I did almost all possible tests and all are OK. This is my normal heart rate.
Thank you for your explanation about bradycaria because i am so worried when i was diagnosed with sinus bradycardia. Thank you for enlightening me. God bless and keep you safe always. Doctor Handsome!
My wife has 54 bpm and was really scared. Electro cardiophysiologist said to do a Halter Monitoring test and it showed 73000 beats per day. Doctor said you should have 150000 beats per day and the heart is week that is why it is slow and any time it can stop too and to have a pace maker. The test was done while taking 2.5mg of Concor tablet per day.Then we went for a second opinion and this doctor said if you are not feeling dizzy or faintness don't worry any way stop taking concor for sometime and repeat the test. Because concor reduces the pulse rate anyway. we ere confused. Thank you so much and god bless you for explaining the situation. Other than pulse rate she is fine. We will repeatand see the electro cariophysiolgist who we cosulted for second opinin and who said the same thing like you . Thank you.....thankyou lords🔴
thanks for the video, it helped me understand why my 98 year old Dad has a 37-47 bpm heart rate. Doctor is suggesting a pacemaker but he rarely gets lightheaded however he is exhausted most of the time even with decent sleep.
You certainly bring hope to people. I learned that eating lots of garlic can slow heart rate as well alkohol withdrawal symptoms which in this case might be even dangerous.
Best ever content. You made me feel comfortable and less fearful. I suffered Serious dizziness which I believed was caused by the treatment Metoprolol 50 mg per day.
Put my mind at ease mine been going up and down all day but not been below 52 had my anxiety all messed up thanks for making the video i have not had any other problems just low pulse rate and a little bit of a headache nothing major
my bpm is 27 to 32 every night. I have track it through my watch for last 6 months. I'm 36 years old. my range for 24 hours 27 or 32 to high are around 160 to 175. yesterday while mowing 183. thanks for Clarifying in your video
Ok here is my sinus bradycardia story. So 30 years ago I was in the Army. I was an air traffic controller and every year we would have to do a flight physical. Every year my EKG showed sinus bradycardia. I asked the flight surgeon should I be worried. He took me out; n the hall and said " Do you see all these pilots and how skinny they are" Most of them register sinus bradycardia so dont worry yourself to death... So now some 32 years later my current cardiologist tells me I have sinus bradycardia and I need a pacer now...
Thanks doc. for the video. I have low rate and palpitations as well. I am 71years of age. BP is always low as well and from nowhere it can start going up to 177/93. And drops down to 89/59. But Im also diabetic.
Just home today after getting a pacemaker. 56 yrs old always been super healthy, went to walk in clinic feeling light headed, heart rate was 28 bpm. I knew it was bad when they sent me to their competitors hospital. I drove myself against their wishes, then an ambulance transferred me 80 miles to St. Lukes in Milwaukee, had surgery in a matter of hours. No one could believe I was walking around and doing normal things laundry, driving etc. Thank you God!
You may have been dehydrated, most docs don’t have experience working with someone healthy and think they are sick if heart rate is low. I biked 32 miles today and ran a mile afterwards but drank 100 oz of fluids with electrolytes. Added a teaspoon of salt to each water bottle. Salt is not the problem; sugar is.

Hello mam, I did ecg ,EKG and holter. Ecg says sinus bradycardia and holter shows minimum heart rate of 38 and maximum was 130. The average heart rate was 59. Pause greater than 2.5 second is 0. Maximum absolute st changes was +2.8 at 4:30 am. I use to do exercise regularly before not now. I haven't experienced black out or fainting. What is the cause ? Do I need to implant pacemaker . I am 33 years old male and 69 kg

Hello,
how long have you had this bradycardia? what is your lowest bpm per minute? what are all your symptoms? where does this bradycardia come from? Are you taking any medications for it? what do the cardiologists and specialists you have seen say? what do they offer? Do you work despite all these symptoms? how long have you had this bradycardia? if not, how old are you, if you don't mind? thank you
Nothing wrong with sub 60bpm
Your video is the best medicine for those of us who get 40 beats at rest but goes up to 120 when we excersise! Every once in a while I'm coming back to watch it just to make sure. Thank you Doctor from the bottom of my ...heart!
Yiannis K me too I’ve watched it that many times for reasure I guess my hubby who is 68 got baricardia 48to 50 bpm o symptoms
@@susanharrison5926 c
True to that, just around 15 days ago my heart rate suddenly went from 60s to 40s and my Apple Watch started to give me alerts “as I set it to notify me if it’s below 48bpm”. Did all the test and everything seems fine it’s just changed apparently, I still walk 3 miles and run around 3 miles everyday, still doing my weight lifting daily for 45 min to an hour. Sometimes it’s just good to hear experiences and explanation of others to ease the anxiety
@@amualla Age.. Might be yr heart is healthy due to lot of exercise
Feeling like my heart rate is lazy as shit, did some deep breathing and oxygen level goes up so pulse drops like a stone, "I'm taking a break, call me when you need me".
I'm serious here when I say that God has led me to this site. Thank you, Dr. Gupta. I have very low blood pressure and bradycardia. Having a nuclear stress test next week. You are a gift to all of us. 🙏❤
Great talk! One other factor is being athletic tends to lower heart rate. I am 76 years old and have been running for 50 years, currently at about 250-270 miles of running per month. My resting heart rate in the morning is 35-39 bpm. While running it is typically 120 or so bit I can push it to 150-160 without feeling tired. I live in Boulder City, Nevada and this time of year I often run at 40-45°C with no problems. A lifetime of running has kept me young! I regularly run with a 31 year old friend and he is amazed that I can run at 76, me too actually.
Good on you m8!!!!!!
I hope your story will encourage people to become healthier rather than make them feel even worse because I'm guessing most people are watching this video because they are worried about their slow heart rate. HOPEFULLY it's not due to a medical condition for them.
Same as you more or less, 57 years old, 30 years of running, resting HR 30 to 45.
Endurance running between 110 and 122.
Congratulations ,you are running great!
Long may it continue for you both but I’m 66 and until a few years ago I was in the same position. Then AF and my resting pulse dropped to 30 from the low 40s and maxing out at about 110. It isn’t all about looking after yourself as I know from personal experience.
I am a af patient i found it difficult to slow down the heart beat
Thank you, doctor. This really helped put me at ease. My heart rate when sleeping is in the low 40s, so I was a little concerned. But the "if your blood is getting around and is oxygenated and you're not seeing any symptoms, then don't worry about your heart being more efficient"
How are you... Hope you are doing great... My father is 61 years old he has pulse rate 40 ....we worry alot about his health...
I wish my cardiologist would take the time to explain things this way. You are a credit to your profession sir! I wish I could speak to you regarding my diagnosis.
Your cardiologist does not have an understanding like this Doctor has
@M L These doctors are not paid off by big Pharm commissions. My opinion.
@dani cali He speaks about that. You are not getting enough blood circulation when have symptoms.
@dani cali so you're possibly not getting good circulation to the brain and talk to your cardio about it but your heart still won't just stop. ❤ I know it is so anxiety inducing but our hearts are AMAZINGLY resilient, let alone the whole body. We don't die easily!
@dani cali He said you should go to the Dr to get treatment.
wow.. this is something that I think about all the time because of my Anxiety. You just made my day with this video Doctor...bless you!
Actually it can..and does. I go thru it everyday to where my mind fears every second, yet my resting pulse is between 52-62..and I'm a 6'2, 325lb man.
Me 2. I'm always checking my pulse. I'm on day 8 of NOT checking my pulse.. I'M a 6'2, 325lb man and my resting pulse is between 52-62...and I fear that something is wrong because I see so many videos and websites saying normal pulse is 60-100. I used to weigh 440lb and my resting pulse was 75-85. Once I lost the weight that is when my pulse dropped, but the anxiety kicked in even worse due to my lower pulse.
quite the opposite
@Bloods thanks for the info....
@Zain844 that's not true I suffer from anxiety,panic,ocd ect and I'm on medication for it in the beginning my blood pressure and pluse would go extremely high but over the last couple of weeks it been like 89/53 with a pluse of 55 so trust me when I say it's very possible
I would just like to say thank you so much for this video about low heart rate. I've been worrying about my 57 to 60 BPM heart rate being too low. I've on Amlodipine 5mg and a low dose beta blocker. I feel absolutely fine and I really needed this video for reassurance thank you, thank you, thank you . Having a consultant cardiologist give advice is worth its weight in gold to me . I wish you well for the new year.😊
Hi Dr. Gupta. I have a connective tissue disease called Ehlers Danlos syndrome and along with it come so many lovely comorbitities like POTS and dysautonomia. I've recently been having bradycardia at night and I just wanted to tell you that hearing you say my heart won't just stop made me instantly burst into tears. This is such a terrifying experience and even though sometimes I can help myself by doing vagus nerve activation the fear that my children will wake up to a dead mother is so real and it's affecting me every day of my life. I've been brushed off because of a normal ekg and I'm using your videos to empower myself. Thank you. You might not realize how much you're helping some of us, but you really are. Thank you, and may you always be blessed
Me too!! EDS and my heart rate got down to 38 one night. I am constantly in the 40s and 50s at night and can get Tachycardia in the day
Hi ! I am also an Ehlers Danlos person - nite time heart rate is 48-51. Low Pressure too but no symptoms. Yes - have dysautonomia.
( and 10 or so other diagnoses) Do either of you have Rh negative type blood and/ or left handedness in family ? I have both. Ehlers - Danlos - very mysterious.
I am going to keep a journal... My heart goes down into the 30's without feeling dizzy. I am glad to hear that I am okay. When it is in the 30's I can feel my heart beat heavily and in the 40's I can feel it but not as hard. Thank you for easing my thoughts. I thought it was anxiety. But I guess not.
I can also feel my heart beat really hard when it get to the low 40’s.
Why u feel heart beat when it is slow
Thank you Doctor... I have a heart beat rate of 40-45 since 2015. I had done all my Eco test , ECG and was found normal. Not much medication advised so I forgot about it since then. I do my regular exercise daily at home. Again when I did my heart rate today it was 39. I don't feel dizzy or have blackouts. But was worried and thinking what to do. After seeing your video I am feeling more relaxed now. Thank you Doctor for your informative video. God bless you 🙏
Doctor I had a surgery for kidney stone removal . Before surgery the The cardiologist checked my low pulse rate which was around 40 and Dr advised me to fixa temporary pace maker before the operation which was done, and surgery completed. He also said to fix a permanent pace maker. I am confused since my pulse rate was low since 2015 and till date I do my regular exercise and never blacked out . Pls advise
Today is valentine day and I know that my heart rate is 49 ,I was shocked
I,m 85 extremely fit yet for 20 yrs doctors send me to ER [been 5 times] my ECGs are unreadable yet I have no symptoms and can box for hours ,going for an halter now for the 5 th time with a new surgeon ,oh my pulse averages 39 and 32 is nothing new

Thank you for this video. I had a pacemaker fitted 7 months ago and have been concerned that my husband’s resting pulse is also too slow as it is in the 50s. As he assures me that he is never light headed, mine often was, you have put my mind at rest. ❤
my partner has a low resting pace, and he fainted when it got to 36 in a bus. He has pacemaker fitted. Only only 56 years
Thank you doctor for explaining the slow beat of the heart and the reactions, you made my day. My apple watch was throwing below 50 while sleeping & I was a bit panic to understand why this is happening.
I keep asking myself if this Apple Watch is really accurate and reliable … I get anxiety when show me heart rate in the 40s … 😩
My watch shows me heart rates in the 40s too
Same mine shows at 40-50
mine in 40's as well, run around 30k a week and it goes up to 180 when needed.
Mine shows 44 but when I checked pulse with a pulse oximeter it showed 76
My dear Doctor Sanjay Gupta, thanks for putting my mind at ease. Twenty-five years ago, my family doctor was really concerned that my heartbeat could drop as low as 40 BPM. He finally came to the conclusion that my heart was working very efficiently and that was the explanation. I was at that time 49 years of age. Recently, I had an EKG done and my cardiologist consultant picked right up immediately that my BMP was less than 60 and in the mid 40's. He ordered that I maintain a log of my BP in the AM and PM before taking medications for a period of 15 days. At the end of the 15 days I could either fax, mail or drop the log off at his office. He further order that I should wear the Holt Monitor for a period of 14 days. Of course there is a waiting period of this time and I will be fitted on December 5th. Yes, I have been worried that my heart could in fact stop and that I could have a heart attack or stroke. Again, thanks for putting my mind at ease. I don't know where this journey will end concerning my low heart beat but I believe the outcome will be good as I do not feel dizzy nor have I ever blacked out.
Thanks for explaining and good bless you 🙏
I appreciate your enlightening perspective on low heart rate while sleeping. I was concerned for months about a less than 40 BPM while asleep. Other videos and online research only added more confusion. My cardiologist didn’t reply to my inquiries. This makes sense and puts me at ease. Many thanks!

This is a great video. Anxiety makes me worry about my heart alot.
Last night right before falling asleep my HR got down to 49 and it freaked me out. I have to quit worrying about this.
Hey Doc it’s just amazing how I stumble across your videos JUST WHEN I’m going through something stressful like low heart rate in this instance ..... you’re quite literally a God send...you should know that!!!! because each time I’ve found you it’s been accidental and I’d been battling either with anxiety induced palpitations or something or the other to do with bradycardia or ectopic beats...I then got a halter monitor put on for 24 hours and was diagnosed with atrial ectopy.
Anyhow just wanted to leave a comment as you said you’d like that and I also wanted to share my gratitude! I have not met a Heart Doc as detailed and half as knowledgeable as you Dr Sanjay .... I’m so lucky to have found you !! So much love and kindest regards from Pakistan! Xoxo

You made me feel good about my resting heart rate. My father’s was slow also and he lived to be 92.
Can you please tell us, what was your father's heart rate?
What was his resting heart rate ?
I watch your videos all the time. My resting heart rate is 56-58 and I was nervous why it was slower than normal. I have no symptoms. Thank you so much for this video.
I was very scared because my heart rate was 43, I am 75 yrs. old,
But your video made me feel much better; the highest it has gone is 53.
Thank you so much.
Thank you sooo much! I have anxiety and when I saw my heart rate went down to 57 bpm while I was laying down and about to go to sleep, I FREAKED OUT because I literally don't exercise or work out for my pulse to be so low tike that! To the point that I didn't sleep just to keep checking my pulse. After watching your video, I can now sleep.. Thank you soooo much.😘
Same here! I even bought a Fitbit lol
Mines 48 when laying lol.
mine went to almost 40 last night, i also have anxiety and couldn't sleep, I was afraid not to wake up
omg...same here!
Yes, thanks doc. My doc/ hospital said my heart rate was too slow at 50bpm and stopped that hbp medicine although I had no symptoms that you cited. Apparently they're working at some outdated information . I'm not surprised.
You are so polite and courteous and funny... besides being simply educational in a simply understandable tone! I've recently started watching many of your UA-cam posts and yesterday started following you in Instagram. Aloha from Hawaii 👋
Awesome video very informative
My heart beat dropped to 73 and got scared
So I opened up UA-cam
And yours was the only one that made sense
It was late at night when this happened so it made complete sense
Thanks so much
Dr. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos out. Ever since I can remember I’ve always had a resting heart rate around 55 and when I sleep it sometimes dips to around 48. When I get up and walk around it goes up into the 90-100 mark. I had Covid in sept 2021 and since then have had major anxiety. I’ve went to the ER twice and two different hospitals have said they see no issues with my heart. The reason I went is because I was light headed and felt fatigued and with that my slower heart rate. In December 2021 I wore a heart monitor for two weeks and that result was I had some PAC’s and PVC’s, no signs of blockage or abnormal arrhythmia. They didn’t see any cause for concerns. To this day however I am still light headed and fatigued. I didn’t feel this particularly way before Covid. I’m still trying to get it in my mind that it’s just Covid symptoms.
I feel the same way
I feel the same, Mr Garcia. My resting heart rate is usually around 55 and dips to 49 to 52 while asleep. I think the issue of fatigue or tiredness is the anxiety brought about by the Covid situations. I have anxiety issues too, thinking something is wrong with my heart until they did some tests in the hospital and found nothing is wrong with my heart.
Now I know I have to work on my stress level so that I can control my anxiety situations.
@@delebabatunde6072 I understand completely. I’ve noticed if I’m tired or stressed my heart rate seems to be slower. I’m also currently correcting adrenal fatigue. My hormones were messed up. My estrogen level was to low as was my progesterone. I’m on natural supplements and it’s been helping also with proper clean eating diet. Right now though I have a head cold and my heart rate is lower than it usually is. I’ve also been to the hospital many times in the past had multiple EKG’s done and blood work chest x rays and even worn a heart monitor for 2 weeks 24/7 and they haven’t seen anything to be concerned about. But I to have to keep my stress levels down and anxiety down also.
By chance are you experiencing unusual digestive symptoms such as bloating? Perhaps there is influence from the Vagus nerve. Some GI conditions can actually slow the heart causing frequent PVCs. Other neurological issues could as well.
@@fjs1111 yes I’ve been very bloated. I’ve since started to take probiotics and cut back on sugars, processed foods, caffeine and the bad carbohydrates. I’ve also been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue, low estrogen and progesterone. I’m currently seeing a holistic doctor and taking natural supplements to correct these issues.
I’m 19 years old, healthy and fit and have been dizzy/light headed almost constantly for around 2 months now, my health anxiety brought me to loads of conclusions but after a few appointments with my GP, we discovered low heart rate/irregular rhythms and high systolic blood pressure, been referred to a cardiologist and to get an ECG done, so hopefully will get some kind of diagnosis and treatment after that - will come back to this once I’ve had it done✅
(Edit) - ECG came back absolutely fine haha, no idea what the issue is then
Same thing bro
I dont know what to do bro
@@sshreyas8599 me neither haha, shits horrible I can’t lie, realistically I think it could be related to some weird anxiety attack I had (first one I’ve ever had) on the 27th Dec, the dizziness/off balance feeling started since then and is only just starting to feel as though it’s gradually going away
@@AV_204 did u go to doctor?
@@sshreyas8599 I have been a few times, she said that nothing seems to be wrong with my head (in terms of something like multiple sclerosis or brain tumour - extreme stuff) and that she wanted to have my heart reviewed by a cardiologist, I’ve got an ECG booked in for Monday 6th March so will see what that shows
My heart beat at rest ranges between 55 to 62. I was a bit concerned about my heart beat being at rest 55. I am 67 years old, male. By chance, I happen to see this video and so was interested to understand what my low heart number meant. You have explained the issue in such a way that even a lay man could understand what it meant. Well explained sir. I now feel relaxed that having lower heart beat is not a matter of concern till one feels symptoms as described by you. I don’t have these symptoms at all. Thanks for explaining it in simple language. I was carrying this concern for long period but now I feel relaxed on this front

@@eddyvideostar agreed, I feel relieved when I see numbers in the 50's, mine goes a lot lower.
Consider yourself very healthy, and in good shape! They just keep telling me, it’s usually seem like that in “healthy active athletes!”😂
Gotta tell you I love your videos! I am 67 and have had 6 strokes, open heart surgery for mechanical mitral valve, I have HOCM and vascular disease. Oh and also suffer from Afib! But still keep recovering and one would never know I have had so much trouble. Took me a long time to come back from a few strokes especially my first stroke which was a brain stem stroke, I could not walk or talk for a while.

Hey doc, you're are such an angel for posting these wonderful informational videos. We all appreciate your generosity very much. Stay awesome, sir!
Thank you Dr for explaining this information to me, I’ve got Bradycardia and no one at my hospital or Drs surgery has taken the time to explain this in such detail to me,
I was fitted with a loop recorder for 3 years and I kept getting phone calls from the hospital telling me my heart rate is slow “ which I know “ but they didn’t actually do anything about it so I’ve had the loop recorder removed today ,
listening to this detailed information has put my mind at rest and now I can get on with the rest of my life without any worries ❤️
This just helped me so much. I will go to bed with less worry tonight. I am so grateful to you and to everyone who has commented here. Now I know I am not alone and others have this too and are living just fine. I am overjoyed.

THANK YOU for this video! Exactly what I needed to hear because my naturally lower heart rate (and blood pressure)has been even lower lately---40 the lowest when I sleep(according to my Fitbit), and it was making me a bit paranoid. This really eased my mind! Do you have a video about low blood pressure? When Im relaxed in my bed, it goes as low as 94/66. I FEEL fine, but seeing such low numbers....especially for my age(60)is a little scary. Im very active, eat healthy & at a good weight, but even after a vigorous walk or bike ride, my BP will only go to like 114/66. Blessings to you & yours.
Hot dang, I love this dude! I wish we could FaceTime every morning to calm my anxieties:) Sometimes I curse these Fitbits and other devices that enslave those of us with health anxiety. Thank you Dr.!
Thank you!! we can facetime daily if you wish Mae:-)
I know I never knew my heart rate was going down to 46 at night until the dang Apple Watch.. now I’m having a terrible panic attack. But this is helping.
York Cardiology do you offer telemedicine appointments for the US?
Cause of my suddenly drop in heart rate... And anxiety caused by it... I literally stopped wearing my Apple Watch 😅 and it really reduced much of my anxiety
You are God sent. Just woke up to my Fitbit going off again because I fell asleep and my HR fell to 50. I panicked, but because of this video I can now go back to bed without fear.
you are a real breath of fresh air for us. You explain things in depth and so simply and in a way that reduces anxiety. Thank you so so much.!!
Thank you so much . I’ve been very concerned in recent times about my low heart rate but your explanation has put my mind at rest. I’m 58 now but have been a lifetime endurance athlete through my 20s to early 50s. I would regularly wake at night with dizzy spells that scared me but would ease if I walked around for 5 minutes at drank some water. Recently I have been monitoring my hr especially while sleeping. It would regularly go below 40 for short periods while asleep which concerned me. However since I stopped competing and just excercising in the comfort zone I rarely have lightheadness.
Thank you for the information and videos you provide very informative!!! I wish doctors would explain the stuff to us when we go to pay them lots of money to go see them!!
thank you!
Thanks for the video. I’ve always had a resting heart rate around 60 - 70. I’ve been trying to loose some weight, over the past few years I’ve lost 50lbs. Recently in the past three weeks my Garmin watch has alarmed with a slow heart rate of 40 in the morning. No dizziness or other bad symptom. I still ride my bike 5 to 10 mile a day or walk. Setting up appointment for a consult with cardiologist to be careful.
What did the cardiologist say?
You good
Thank you Sir. My HR is always arround 55. I clarified with many Doctors. They said it was normal and not to be stressed. But nobody well explained like you. Now I am relieved.
I'm so glad you are around for reassurance... I've been so let down by the NHS . Thankyou with all my heart ❤️
Dr Gupta. Thank you so much for addressing this topic. I was worried when my heart rate was 56 and having a compensatory pause. I do feel relieved now. I am going through menopause and I would think hormones play a big part in my ectopic beats. Thank you again!

I mentioned I was 78 years old. I have not consulted a cardiologist because, if I have a problem, it would be with my thyroid being sluggish, not my heart. Besides, I subsequently found out that a slow heart rate, when you are resting/sleeping, for example, is quite normal which is when mine was in the 40’s. Thanks for your concern, and I appreciate your wanting some information on bradycardia.
This is brilliant. Education is the key ingredient missing in healthcare. People don't need medications as much as they need to be educated in a way that they can understand.

I get so scared to sleep I have very mild wolf Parkinson’s white n get scared bc my heart rate is 52 at rest and in the 40s at sleep I’m scared af pls talk to me
@@giannimacaluso6643 have you watched the video? It really put my mind at ease. Also have you spoken to your doctor? For me, when my heart goes really slow, as long as I'm not having any symptoms I'm not worried. Maybe just keep watching the video and it will ease your mind. Take care. I know it's hard having this.
Thanks Doc I am glad to see you on the video you made my day you know my heart rate down to 51 beats I am so happy because don’t have symptoms God bless you
Excellent information. I have had a pacemaker inserted recently at age 80. I hope to have good quality of life.
This doctor is very good at explaining. Thanks doc.
I was worried of my mother slow heart rate. I consulted to our family physician ( Cardiologist ) . She stopped two medicines ( 1. Cordarone 100, 2. Lenoxin0.25 ). Your explanation reduces my tension.
This video and this channel is one of the best on YT! 100% LOVE to you, dear Doctor! I am 50 years old, former smoker, kinda heavy especially around the waist, no alcohol and no fast food or fizzy drinks or so...just veggies, fruits, and some meat or fish. I did ECG, X-ray, Echo, Holter ECG...etc...my heart pressure is sometimes 155/90 and sometimes 130/70 while resting. My pulse was always my concern because just sitting on a chair and the pulse is 55 bpm. While sleeping is going to 47-46 bpm. When I walk is 65-90 especially if I also speak at the phone. I do not have angina and my heart was OK on all tests. Now I need to do an endocrinologic test to see if is a chemical/hormone issue. I wish you all the best!
Are you okay
@@Urdutv447 Hi. Yes, I am OK. It seams that my severe vitamin D deficiency is the culprit + a generalised anxiety that somatized. I did almost all possible tests and all are OK. This is my normal heart rate.
My heart rate going down to 52 since 3 for days I'm also severe vitamin deficiencies
@@Urdutv447 52 is not too bad if you do not have symptoms. Vitamin deficiencies, if are many or related between them, need to be checked by a doctor.
Is vitamin d deficiencies cause low heart rate? I'm also feeling blurry vision and sleepy when my heart is slow
Thank you for your explanation about bradycaria because i am so worried when i was diagnosed with sinus bradycardia. Thank you for enlightening me. God bless and keep you safe always. Doctor Handsome!
Add me to the list of those with anxiety for heart- issues, thank you so much for this video 😀 finally I can and will relax.
My wife has 54 bpm and was really scared. Electro cardiophysiologist said to do a Halter Monitoring test and it showed 73000 beats per day. Doctor said you should have 150000 beats per day and the heart is week that is why it is slow and any time it can stop too and to have a pace maker. The test was done while taking 2.5mg of Concor tablet per day.Then we went for a second opinion and this doctor said if you are not feeling dizzy or faintness don't worry any way stop taking concor for sometime and repeat the test. Because concor reduces the pulse rate anyway. we ere confused.
Thank you so much and god bless you for explaining the situation. Other than pulse rate she is fine. We will repeatand see the electro cariophysiolgist who we cosulted for second opinin and who said the same thing like you . Thank you.....thankyou lords🔴
You help me so much, I have this problem, it wakes me up at night and scares me to death. You make me not so scared.
thanks for the video, it helped me understand why my 98 year old Dad has a 37-47 bpm heart rate. Doctor is suggesting a pacemaker but he rarely gets lightheaded however he is exhausted most of the time even with decent sleep.
I stayed awake throughout, very reassuring. Thanks Dr. Sanjay👍🏻👍🏻
You certainly bring hope to people. I learned that eating lots of garlic can slow heart rate as well alkohol withdrawal symptoms which in this case might be even dangerous.
My sleeping heart rate has gone down to 36 but it’s at 55-65 while awake. This video was helpful. Thanks!
Thanks so much - this has put my mind to rest after regular nighttime 40's
Best ever content. You made me feel comfortable and less fearful. I suffered Serious dizziness which I believed was caused by the treatment Metoprolol 50 mg per day.
How nicely you explain each and every thing..... Soothing and calming... relaxing video .... Impressed 😊
Thank you for explaining this. My husband was thought to have epilepsy, because he would pass out at irregular I intervals.
This video did help with my anxiety level thank you so much
What an excellent explanation of bradycardia. I'm not scared now!
Put my mind at ease mine been going up and down all day but not been below 52 had my anxiety all messed up thanks for making the video i have not had any other problems just low pulse rate and a little bit of a headache nothing major
The last line...Its a win-win situation...was awesome 👌
Thank you!! This is the exact question I needed answered. I couldn't sleep with worry.
The explanation has really helped me clear the fear of my heart stopping. Thanks for your lecture
You are the one of the best doctor
Thank you I just got out of the hospital for this. See the cardiologist tomorrow for more tests. Anyway, anxiety is running high.
I love your videos... I wish you were my cardiologist. You have eased so much anxiety for me. Thank you so much

Thank you for explaining about bradycardia. I was worried too. Now l feel better
Thank you for this video. It has put my mind at rest a lot. So very grateful to you.
Thanks
You have explained about slow heart rate very meticulously. I m 56 my heart pulse is between 30 to 40. I will seek some medical advice..
Love your videos, they always reduce my anxiety about my heart.
thanks Doc! All the google said about under 60 is dangerous
Ok here is my sinus bradycardia story. So 30 years ago I was in the Army. I was an air traffic controller and every year we would have to do a flight physical. Every year my EKG showed sinus bradycardia. I asked the flight surgeon should I be worried. He took me out; n the hall and said " Do you see all these pilots and how skinny they are" Most of them register sinus bradycardia so dont worry yourself to death... So now some 32 years later my current cardiologist tells me I have sinus bradycardia and I need a pacer now...
Thank you, this erases some of my anxieties..
Very nicely explained in detail and in simple way even a lay man can understand thanks alot .
Thanks doc. for the video. I have low rate and palpitations as well. I am 71years of age. BP is always low as well and from nowhere it can start going up to 177/93. And drops down to 89/59. But Im also diabetic.
