What Causes Slow Heart Rate?
I AM SO SORRY YOU HAD TO WAIT BUT I HAD SOME CUSTOMERS WALK IN. I AM 60, MALE, WEIGH ABOUT 190, 6-1-6-2 ISH. I EXERCISE EVERY OTHER DAY, JOG COUPLE MILES AND LITE WEIGHTS. I WENT IN FOR A DIFFERENT ISSUE THAN THIS BUT I ASKED THE DOCTOR ABOUT MY PULSE RATE , WHY IT IS SO LOW. AND HE IS SCHEDULING ME TO SEE A CARDIOLOGIST ON MONDAY. MY CONCERN OF PULSE IS THAT I FEEL GREAT, TAKE ONLY JUICE PLUS VITAMINS AND TURMERIC CURCUMIN GOLD AND TRIPLE STRENGTH OMEGA-3 GOLD SUPPLEMENTS. NO OTHER MEDS. MY CONCERN IS MY PULSE OF APPROX 33 TO 38 DONE BOTH MANUALLY AND MACHINE. COULD THIS BY ANY MEANS BE OK ?
