Question : I am having slow heart rate (55)...sweating and light headed
Brief Answer:
Considerations
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for sending the question.
I am concerned that you have symptomatic bradycardia. This means that you have a slow heart rate and you have symptoms which may be related. Since you are feeling this way I think you need to see your primary care doctor as soon as possible for evaluation. Your doctor can perform a focused consultation and physical examination.
Your Dr. might also request laboratory studies and an electrocardiogram. I would not wait much longer to get evaluated. I am concerned that your symptoms may represent a significant underlying medical condition.
Thank you again for sending your healthcare concern.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
