About the disease & condition

Bradycardia is a heart rhythm condition where the heart beats slower than normal, typically fewer than 60 beats per minute. It occurs when the heart’s electrical signals are delayed or blocked. While mild bradycardia may be normal in healthy or athletic individuals, severe cases can limit blood flow to vital organs. This may lead to fatigue, dizziness, or fainting. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment help manage symptoms and prevent serious complications.

Known Symptoms

Persistent fatigue and weakness during routine activities.
Frequent dizziness, lightheadedness, or near-fainting episodes.
Shortness of breath during exertion or mild activity.
Chest discomfort or confusion due to reduced circulation.

Known Causes

Aging-related degeneration of heart’s electrical system.
Heart disease or damage from previous heart attack.
Certain medications affecting heart rate and rhythm.
Electrolyte imbalance or thyroid disorders affecting metabolism.

Care

Regular cardiac evaluation and heart rate monitoring.
Adjusting or reviewing medications under medical supervision.
Treating underlying conditions contributing to slow heart rate.
Pacemaker implantation in severe or symptomatic cases.
