Hello,
With the question “How to treat bradycardia? , the doctor answered as follows:
In adults, the sinus node pulses from 60-100 times a minute, so the normal heart rate also fluctuates in that range. A heart rate less than 60 times is called bradycardia. In fact, bradycardia may not have any symptoms at all. However, when the heart beats slowly can make the body feel:
Dizziness or lightheadedness, lightheadedness, worse can be sudden exhaustion or fainting. Shortness of breath, especially during exercise or exertion. Feel very tired. Chest pain, or a feeling of palpitations. Or confused, difficult to stay focused. In the case of your father, you should wear an electrocardiogram Holter to see the 24-hour electrocardiogram, from which there is a plan for appropriate advice and treatment.
If you still have questions about bradycardia treatment, you can go to a medical facility under Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
