Fainting low pulse rate
Common Questions and Answers about Fainting low pulse rate
fainting
The low pulse rate can definately be a reason for having dizzy and fainting spells. I don't want to alarm you however, I recently went through a long 2 months of thinking i had a heart problem when it was just anxiety. I had a really fast heart rate due to anxiety. How low is your pulse? Mine gets as low as 53 BPM without feeling dizzy or weird, which is common in young, active, healthy people.
Is it normal for pulse to become low after CABG surgery. My pulse is staying in the 50's most of the time but lately has fallen several time into the 40's. The lowest is 46. I am not athletic but I have lost 47 pounds since surgery.
I'm curious to know how this turns out for your grandfather. I'm also dealing with very low pulse (low 30's) 42 yrs old and I will find out later this week if a pacemaker, something else, or perhaps nothing is in store for me.
Personally if it were my body i definately would not wait.....your blood pressure and pulse seem awfully low to me especially disturbing is that you are getting light headed and are super tired. I think these are all red flags here...you don't want to be driving and have something happen to you or you be in a place that there is no one to come to your aid if you faint...
My physician knows my blood pressure, and, I assume, my low pulse rate which I have recently read as 40 in a normal day. However,I have recently returned to surprise woozyness that feels like it might turn into dizziness and fainting. My normal blood pressure seems to be about 136-138 over 86-90 and I take Lisinopril 10 mg daily. In the past few weeks--as I have reported to my physican--my energy level is gone and my ability to go upstairs and hills is dwindling.
As the body becomes dehydrated the interstitial fluids (fluid in the layers of tissue) become depleted and the electrolytes that maintain hemostasis (external to internal arterial pressure) which causes the low blood pressure and pulse rate. These symptoms along with low potassium and phosphates are also characteristic of dehydration. This explains why IV fluids containing sodium, potassium, phosphates, etc.
I am not a doctor but as a patient with a lot of experience with beta blocker medication, including the one you are taking, I can say I consider 50 mg a day to be a moderate level does, but if it causes very low heart rate, I consider anything under 50 to be very low, and some dizziness the lower dose seems to be a good change,
Given you seem to be moving toward a more normal heart rate and I didn't see any mention of problems from the reduced dose it seems to me you may have found the co
rapid heart rate upon standing, low or high blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, fatigue, sweating, anxiety-like symptoms, headaches, shortness of breath, inability to exercise, digestion problems, etc. The symptoms are endless and vary person to person day to day. Very few doctors are familiar with this illness and often misdiagnose patients.

I too am having low pulse rate ..low 50's. I noticed that I have low pulse rate whenever I have gastroparesis problems. I also have thyroid nodules. I am going in for an ultrasound on Tuesday and repeat biopsy. I have found an Atkins diet to be very helpful I noticed that when I eat Atkins I don't have the problems. But do try to avoid green beans and vegetables such as broccoli Etc you can look up foods that are problems for gastroparesis patients...
s a wide range of normal, an unusually high or low heart rate may indicate an underlying problem. Consult your doctor if your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 beats a minute (tachycardia) or below 60 beats a minute (bradycardia) — especially if you have other signs or symptoms, such as fainting, dizziness or shortness of breath.
Sounds like it could be blood sugar level (not blood pressure). Talk to your doctor. This happens to me when I've not eaten recently or enough. Eating will rectify it. Try keeping crackers in your purse or near you. Anyway do talk to your doctor about this.
The maximum heart rate is the highest your pulse rate can get. To calculate your predicted maximum heart rate, use this formula:
220 - Your Age = Predicted Maximum Heart Rate
Please note that some medicines and medical conditions might affect your maximum heart rate. If you are taking medicines or have a medical condition (such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes), always ask your doctor if your maximum heart rate/target heart rate will be affected.
I had paramedics called out to me and had tests done like blood, egg and blood pressure. My blood was fine, i have a very fast blood rate and low blood pressure. Before i faint, my heart starts to race and first aiders have counted my pulse and has come to 114 per minute. I can feel my heart rate pulsing really fast before i faint, and i also get very clammy hands.
How long does it take to wean off beta blockers specifically Toprol XL?
5 days ago, I Was taking 75mg and pulse dropped to the low 40's and told to stop. Since then. Pulse has not kicked back up. Do have a headache and intermittent fatigue.
Any thoughts?
The only thing I can think of that might have triggered it is the rapid heart rate that accompanies recovery from fainting as blood pressure is restored. The nurse was concerned about my quick pulse and low BP. She called the Doctor, who told her to have me walk around a bit, and if I didn't faint again that I was ok to go home as he had examined me a short time before. I did mention the heart flutter to the nurse before I left.
One night I woke thinking I was having a heart attack. My pulse was very high and blood pressure was very low. I got to the ER and was told I was having PVC's. The ER doc said I was having a panic attack, even though this woke me from a dead sleep. He gave me some valium and sent me home. Four days later I was scheduled for a minor outpatient surg. After the nurse hooked me up to the monitor, she called the doctor in and he said I could not be put to sleep that day.
Her Cardiologist performed the standard 24 hour EKG which showed her heart rate dropping to 10-15 BPM and at times stopping entirely for 5 second intervals during a two hour period while sleeping.
org/posts/Heart-Rhythm/Low-pulse-and-palpitations/show/1537421#post_6981777 and received various suggestions, all of which I tried out but none of them have pointed to any explanation and my symptoms have increased so I thought I would post again and see if anyone had any new suggestions.
Basically, I'm now 31, at the time of my last post I was obese but I've since lost 4 stone and am now about 7lb overweight but am still working towards normal weight.
There are other conditions like Hypothyroid that can cause a low pulse. A low pulse is usually regarded as not normal if there are symptoms related to the heart rate. For instance some athletes have heart rates in the 30's but have no symptoms, therefore no treatment. I had a heart rate in the low 40's and felt dizzy, tired and had palpitations. I now have an ICD (for another heart propblem) with pacing at 70 bpm and feel much better.
