How To Stabilize Low BP And Heart Rate?
I am a 62-year old female, 5'5", 185#, with atrial fib and CMT. Last night when I was sleeping my whole body jolted as if the heart stopped and restarted. I see cardiologist regular and he feels the medicine I am on is working. I check bp & heart rate when ill. Both numbers have been low today, even when standing, so no sign of afib. Should I be concerned?
