Slow heartbeat :
Slow heartbeat or bradycardia occurs when the heart beats slowly or less than the regular expected range of sixty beats per minute. A slow heartbeat is indicated by various complaints like chest pain, shortness of breath, agitation, memory problems, fatigue, confusion, heart palpitations, difficulty concentrating, irritability, dizziness, or syncope. Slow heartbeat occurs due to various reasons such as anorexia nervosa, electrolyte deficiencies, pericarditis, myocarditis, endocarditis, infections such as strep throat, radiation therapy, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, Lyme disease, Chagas disease, heart surgery, sick sinus syndrome, heart attack, coronary artery disease, and heart block. Various diagnostic tests, such as thyroid hormone levels, electrolyte levels, and troponin, an electrocardiogram (ECG), and toxicology screening, are conducted to identify this heart condition. The treatment plan to deal with a slow heartbeat includes primary options like prescribing medications, a permanent pacemaker, and temporary pacing.
