Bradycardia

Bradycardia is a slow heart rate, typically below 60 beats per minute. It can be normal for some, but may also indicate an underlying issue or side effect of medication, potentially causing dizziness, fatigue, or more severe symptoms.

Bradycardia is a condition characterized by a slow heart rate, typically defined as a resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute. While some individuals, particularly well-trained athletes, may naturally have a lower heart rate without experiencing adverse effects, bradycardia can also be a sign of an underlying medical condition or a side effect of certain medications. Symptoms associated with bradycardia can include dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, fainting (syncope), and confusion. In severe cases, bradycardia can lead to cardiac arrest.
