I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms and I'm getting a bit worried. A few days ago, I had trouble breathing, and then I started feeling pain in my ribs that moved towards my left chest. It happened again recently, and I'm concerned it might be related to a heart issue. Could you please advise me on what this could be or suggest any treatment?

I'm a bit concerned about my heart health. A year and a half ago, I was diagnosed with sinus arrhythmia, and my doctor put me on Vodafone 100. Since then, I've been taking the medication regularly, but my recent Holter report shows sinus bradycardia. Everything else like my lipid, liver, thyroid, and kidney profiles are normal, so I'm confused about what's going on. Could this be related to the medication, or is there something else I should be aware of? What steps should I take next?

I've noticed my heart rate has been pretty low for the past couple of days, like around 55 beats per minute when I'm just resting or sleeping. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal?

Slow heart rate can be concerning, especially if it persists for a few days. A heart rate of 55 beats per minute or above at rest or during sleeping time may indicate bradycardia. It is important to identify the underlying cause of this slow heart rate. Some common causes of bradycardia include medication side effects, electrolyte imbalances, heart disease, or an underactive thyroid gland. If you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath along with the slow heart rate, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Your doctor may recommend further evaluation, which may include an electrocardiogram (ECG) or other tests to determine the cause of the bradycardia. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help regulate the heart rate. However, the specific treatment will depend on the underlying cause of the slow heart rate. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan.
