Hi,
Thanks for the query.
It is normal to have bradycardia and few ectopics in highly trained athelets and at your age. If you no symptoms I don’t see any reason to be worried.
In case if there are any other concerns or giddiness than you can have echocardiography done through a competent cardiologist to check you left ventricular function. If the test comes normal, then there are no issues at all.
Hope this answers your query. If you have any doubts/clarification now, feel free to post your response. I will be glad to assist you further. Do accept the answer if you do not have any further queries.
Regards

made a mistake,yhe world trade center in 911,i developed lots of inflammatiom and had open sores in my legs for 8 yearsmthe inflammation gathered also behind the plate bone in the back that moves the arm,behind the heart,i still have small remnats of that heat
Hi and thanks again,
I understand the injuries sustained have been bothering you. But clinically these would not influence heart and would not make any difference to cardiac discussion.
These “inflammation” would not be a cause of bradycardia.
Hope this is clear to you. Yet should you have any other doubts, I will be glad to help you. Do accept the answer if you do not have any other queries.
Best Regards
