What to do about a low pulse rate of 50 in an 80-year-old diabetic with a history of heart surgery? - #54299

This is called bradycardia (low pulse) Since you have bypass + stents + recent angiogram. Ayurvedic View This reflects Vata dominance + reduced cardiac Agni (Hridya bala) with aging. Ayurveda can support heart strength, but not replace cardiac care Supportive Ayurvedic Care 1. Heart Strengthening Herbs Arjuna – best for cardiac tone & circulation Pushkarmool – improves heart function Dashmool (mild) – balances Vata 2. Gentle Daily Routine Continue walking (very good but avoid overexertion) Regular timing of meals & sleep Avoid fasting or long gaps (can lower pulse further) 3. Diet Warm, light, easily digestible food Include: garlic, small amount of ghee, whole grains Avoid: heavy, cold, stale food Lifestyle Mild pranayama (deep breathing, not forceful) Stress reduction, calm routine

Your pulse is a bit slow (around 50), which can be normal in some people. Since you’re not having chest pain or dizziness and you stay active, it’s reassuring. However, given your heart history, we should check it with a simple heart monitor and review your medicines to be safe. If you feel more tired, dizzy, or faint, let us know immediately. –From an Ayurvedic view, a slower pulse can be linked to increased Kapha or reduced Agni (metabolism). Since you feel mostly well, it may be your natural balance, but your mild fatigue suggests slight imbalance. Keep digestion strong, stay active, eat light and warm foods, and follow up regularly to ensure everything stays stable. –rx 1) Aimil Amlycure DS – 1 tab twice daily after food 2) Aimil Lipidofit – 1 tab twice daily after food 3) Aimil Madhumehari – 1 tab twice daily before food (if sugar control monitored) Advice: continue cardiac medicines, monitor pulse/sugar, regular follow-up.
