What Causes Fast Heart Rate?
Have a history of brady cardia with heart rate running in the 40s. Been vacationing in NH and my heart rate is running in 60s and 70s. I am 84 years old on no medications with only glaucoma as an illness. what would cause my bradey cardia to all of a sudden be in the normal range? Could a change in diet have anything to do with it?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Low heart rate may not be due to diet but it could be due to conduction system disease and if this is so then illness may needed pacemaker, else the medication may not helps much, second age may be the cause for this. condition may needs investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
