What Is Sinus Bradycardia, and When Should You Be Concerned? - #15208
I recently had an ECG test, and my doctor mentioned that I have sinus bradycardia. From what I understand, it means that my heart rate is slower than normal, but I don’t fully understand why that’s happening or if I should be worried. I read that a normal heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute, but with sinus bradycardia, it’s usually below 60 bpm. Is this always a sign of a heart problem, or can it be normal in certain cases? I exercise regularly and have been told that athletes often have lower heart rates—could that be the reason? I also want to know if sinus bradycardia symptoms should be taken seriously. I don’t feel faint or dizzy often, but I do get tired sometimes. Can a slow heart rate lead to fatigue, dizziness, or shortness of breath? Are there natural remedies or Ayurvedic treatments that can help regulate heart rhythm? I’ve read that Arjuna, Ashwagandha, and garlic are good for heart health—do they help with sinus bradycardia? If anyone has been diagnosed with sinus bradycardia, did your doctor recommend treatment, or was it considered normal? I’d love to hear about your experience!
