What Is Bradycardia?

Bradycardia is a heart disorder in which the heart beat rate per minute is much less than the normal 60-100 beats per minute observed among adults. The most common symptom of this disorder is the reduction of oxygen level in the blood. In addition, the sufferers experience immense dizziness whenever they engage into any sort of a physical activity. Weakness and unusual fatigue are two other most observed symptoms of this condition. In some cases, patients also experience chest pains even at the position of rest. Few people find difficulties in inhaling air which leads to breathlessness or interrupted breaths.

The underlying cause of Bradycardia is high blood pressure. Among many people, thyroid and Hypothyroidism are main triggers of the slow heart beats. Further, this disease can stem from congenital heart defects, uncured infections and damages sustained during a serious heart attack. These conditions can cause serious disruptions in the normal tendency of the heart beats.

Bradycardia can be cured by taking medications that alleviate the underlining cause. Patients are recommended the right dosage that brings stability to their blood pressure levels. Apart from medication, changes in the exercise regime and diet are highly recommended to normalize the activities of the heart.
