- This video is about Slow heart rate or Bradycardia: Will my heart stop?
Hi Guys…my name is Sanjay Gupta and I am a cardiologist in York. To speak with me , visit www.yorkcardiology.co.uk/yorkcardiology@gmail.com
Today I wanted to do a video (as requested by my facebook friend Leah) on slow heart rates or as we doctors refer to it…Bradycardia.
The normal range for heart rate at rest is between 60-100 beats per minute. If you heart rate is over 100 at rest then it is described as tachycardia and if it is below 60.min then it is called bradycardia.
It is not uncommon for people to measure their heart rates and find it to be low or sometimes patients have holters and get told their heart rates are down to 30-40 beats per minute and this causes a great deal of anxiety because the automatic assumption is that the heart could slow down so much that it will stop
Truthfully this almost never happens and is an unjustified concern. In this video I will be able to explain why.
1) it is important to understand the electrics of the heart. The heart is myogenic i.e the electricity is produced within the heart cells itself. All the muscles of the heart are capable of producing electricity but there is one area of the heart which can produce the electrical impulses at the highest rate and this cluster of cells is called the Sinus node or the pacemaker of the heart. The sinus node can be likened to a man with a drum…he hits the drum and waits for the echo to die down and hits the drum. There are certain external influences which will tell the drummer to speed up or to slow down…
so adrenaline for example which is generate when you are exercising or stressed or scared or even ill will
tell the drummer to beat faster
And then there is acetylcholine which is influenced by the vagus nerve when you are resting or sleeping or even digesting which will tell the drummer to slow down
So the heart rate is situational…ie the normal heart rate is different for different situations….and therefore a heart rate of 30-40 may be completely fine when you are sleeping but will be slow for someone who is on the treadmill.
Secondly if you remove the pacemaker, that doesn’t mean the heart stops beating… another cluster of cells will take over but they wont beat as fast or strong as when the natural pacemaker is.
1) What is the heart rate and why is it important?
The heart function is to pump oxygen rich round blood round the body and to be able to pump the blood round, it has to beat at least a certain minimum number of times to get the blood round. If it doesn’t beat the minimum number of times, not as much blood will get round.. and therefore our vital organs wont get as much blood and therefore they will not function as well. Although a heart rate of less than 60 is considered slow, it often has no impact on us because as the heart slows down, the heart has more time to fill with blood and therefore although it is slower it will push more blood with each beat and therefore probably the overall same amount of blood gets round. At a certain rate however, the filling of blood will not compensate for the slow heart rate and I would say that this value would probably be even less than 45/min. Now the most sensitive part of our body to a reduction in blood supply is our brain and if our brain doesn’t get as much blood as it needs, we feel dizzy and therefore one of the first signs of our heart rate being too slow is dizziness or even blackouts if the heart rate is very slow and if these happen most people go and ask for help and the slow heart rate is picked up.

Your video is the best medicine for those of us who get 40 beats at rest but goes up to 120 when we excersise! Every once in a while I'm coming back to watch it just to make sure. Thank you Doctor from the bottom of my ...heart!
Yiannis K me too I’ve watched it that many times for reasure I guess my hubby who is 68 got baricardia 48to 50 bpm o symptoms
@@susanharrison5926 c
True to that, just around 15 days ago my heart rate suddenly went from 60s to 40s and my Apple Watch started to give me alerts “as I set it to notify me if it’s below 48bpm”. Did all the test and everything seems fine it’s just changed apparently, I still walk 3 miles and run around 3 miles everyday, still doing my weight lifting daily for 45 min to an hour. Sometimes it’s just good to hear experiences and explanation of others to ease the anxiety
@@amualla Age.. Might be yr heart is healthy due to lot of exercise
Feeling like my heart rate is lazy as shit, did some deep breathing and oxygen level goes up so pulse drops like a stone, "I'm taking a break, call me when you need me".
Great talk! One other factor is being athletic tends to lower heart rate. I am 76 years old and have been running for 50 years, currently at about 250-270 miles of running per month. My resting heart rate in the morning is 35-39 bpm. While running it is typically 120 or so bit I can push it to 150-160 without feeling tired. I live in Boulder City, Nevada and this time of year I often run at 40-45°C with no problems. A lifetime of running has kept me young! I regularly run with a 31 year old friend and he is amazed that I can run at 76, me too actually.
Good on you m8!!!!!!
I hope your story will encourage people to become healthier rather than make them feel even worse because I'm guessing most people are watching this video because they are worried about their slow heart rate. HOPEFULLY it's not due to a medical condition for them.
Same as you more or less, 57 years old, 30 years of running, resting HR 30 to 45.
Endurance running between 110 and 122.
Congratulations ,you are running great!
Long may it continue for you both but I’m 66 and until a few years ago I was in the same position. Then AF and my resting pulse dropped to 30 from the low 40s and maxing out at about 110. It isn’t all about looking after yourself as I know from personal experience.
I am a af patient i found it difficult to slow down the heart beat
You made me feel good about my resting heart rate. My father’s was slow also and he lived to be 92.
Can you please tell us, what was your father's heart rate?
Thank you! My resting heart rate was 44 this morning. I’m a 70 year old woman who works out and exercise regularly. Your explanation helped me a lot.
Is your heart rate still been low?
my parrter fainted yesteray on a bus and his rate was 36 and he now has a pacemaker. He cycled every day and went to gym. When he was connected to the wires when it went 40 and under the nurses rushed over and did something. He had to go ona drip to put up his pulse
@@beaulieuc8910
how old is he? And did they find out the reason for his low heart rate?
@@beaulieuc8910did they find the reason?
Just home today after getting a pacemaker. 56 yrs old always been super healthy, went to walk in clinic feeling light headed, heart rate was 28 bpm. I knew it was bad when they sent me to their competitors hospital. I drove myself against their wishes, then an ambulance transferred me 80 miles to St. Lukes in Milwaukee, had surgery in a matter of hours. No one could believe I was walking around and doing normal things laundry, driving etc. Thank you God!
You may have been dehydrated, most docs don’t have experience working with someone healthy and think they are sick if heart rate is low. I biked 32 miles today and ran a mile afterwards but drank 100 oz of fluids with electrolytes. Added a teaspoon of salt to each water bottle. Salt is not the problem; sugar is.

Hello mam, I did ecg ,EKG and holter. Ecg says sinus bradycardia and holter shows minimum heart rate of 38 and maximum was 130. The average heart rate was 59. Pause greater than 2.5 second is 0. Maximum absolute st changes was +2.8 at 4:30 am. I use to do exercise regularly before not now. I haven't experienced black out or fainting. What is the cause ? Do I need to implant pacemaker . I am 33 years old male and 69 kg

Hello,
how long have you had this bradycardia? what is your lowest bpm per minute? what are all your symptoms? where does this bradycardia come from? Are you taking any medications for it? what do the cardiologists and specialists you have seen say? what do they offer? Do you work despite all these symptoms? how long have you had this bradycardia? if not, how old are you, if you don't mind? thank you
My soul came back to my body after watching this video. The anxiety was killing me slowly..... I was already thinking about all the problems I would have to deal with....I was thinking about what would happen to my kind husband...my innocent dogs 😩. I even said to my hubby that if I die in the middle of the night ...that I don’t want him to be sad. I want him to fall in love...and get married again...but he must pick someone who would be willing to look after my dogs with the same love I do. etc etc... Thank you so much!!
Be fruitful and multiply
Thank you, doctor. This really helped put me at ease. My heart rate when sleeping is in the low 40s, so I was a little concerned. But the "if your blood is getting around and is oxygenated and you're not seeing any symptoms, then don't worry about your heart being more efficient"
I would just like to say thank you so much for this video about low heart rate. I've been worrying about my 57 to 60 BPM heart rate being too low. I've on Amlodipine 5mg and a low dose beta blocker. I feel absolutely fine and I really needed this video for reassurance thank you, thank you, thank you . Having a consultant cardiologist give advice is worth its weight in gold to me . I wish you well for the new year.😊
Thank you, Doctor. I have been so concerned about my low heart rate popping up out of the blue. I am thankful I found your channel and video. Bless you and yours!
This is one of the best explanation that I have heard about Bradycardia. Thank you Dr.
Thank you so much for the bradycardia video. I've had bradycardia for years now. I feel like I get way more information and comfort from you and your videos than I do from my local cardiologist. I so appreciate your efforts.
Hi did you have to get a pacemaker
This doctor is a live saver seriously
I wish my cardiologist would take the time to explain things this way. You are a credit to your profession sir! I wish I could speak to you regarding my diagnosis.
Your cardiologist does not have an understanding like this Doctor has
@M L These doctors are not paid off by big Pharm commissions. My opinion.
@dani cali He speaks about that. You are not getting enough blood circulation when have symptoms.
@dani cali so you're possibly not getting good circulation to the brain and talk to your cardio about it but your heart still won't just stop. ❤ I know it is so anxiety inducing but our hearts are AMAZINGLY resilient, let alone the whole body. We don't die easily!
@dani cali He said you should go to the Dr to get treatment.
This video has taken away my anxiety!!! Really appreciate this. Thank you!
I've also feeling same.
Watching this after 5 years and iam still here soo appreciative of the quality and the way you are explaining this effect.
Not boring. You helped me BIGTIME after a long day of fear & wondering what a slow heart rate means. Thank you. Watched this multiple times.
Dr. Gupta, “ The Kind Hearted “ doctor.
Thank you for all you do.
how very kind thank you
Great video Doctor, I'm 70 and my HR is usually in the low 50s. I also have MVP with mild regurg. So I won't be too concerned about the lower HR. Thanks so much for your dedication, I tell everyone I know about your channel, it seems like everyone knows someone who has some kind of heart abnormality and I know they will find your videos invaluable as I do! Thanks again! From the USA in North Carolina.
Well said beautiful
this doctor is a doll, and this is my go to video to ward off anxiety and depression.
I have been scared to death regarding my a-fib and bradycardia. You have eased my mind so much. I can’t take the elequis or blood thinner and I’m not taking anything. The meds just make things worse. You are a godsend.
I'm serious here when I say that God has led me to this site. Thank you, Dr. Gupta. I have very low blood pressure and bradycardia. Having a nuclear stress test next week. You are a gift to all of us. 🙏❤
beautifully explained and illustrated. This has helped me a lot. Thanks again for everything you are doing to help others. You have a gift and you are generous with it.
Thanks so much for sharing. Bradycardia began a few months ago which results in a degree of anxiety, but no light headedness. What you shared was so helpful. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for this video. I quit alcohol and drugs 3 months ago and I’ve been suffering terrible anxiety, especially about my heart. I’ve been really concerned that my resting heart rate gets into the low/mid 50s. This video has helped reassure me. Thank you!
Hang in there bro!
I'm very happy for you that you have quit it soon..
Keep it up Jim.
Dr.Gupta you are really a saviour of humanity every where on this planet...you are one of the rarest in medical profession specially among the practicing cardiologists of the world...
wow.. this is something that I think about all the time because of my Anxiety. You just made my day with this video Doctor...bless you!
Actually it can..and does. I go thru it everyday to where my mind fears every second, yet my resting pulse is between 52-62..and I'm a 6'2, 325lb man.
Me 2. I'm always checking my pulse. I'm on day 8 of NOT checking my pulse.. I'M a 6'2, 325lb man and my resting pulse is between 52-62...and I fear that something is wrong because I see so many videos and websites saying normal pulse is 60-100. I used to weigh 440lb and my resting pulse was 75-85. Once I lost the weight that is when my pulse dropped, but the anxiety kicked in even worse due to my lower pulse.
quite the opposite
@Bloods thanks for the info....
@Zain844 that's not true I suffer from anxiety,panic,ocd ect and I'm on medication for it in the beginning my blood pressure and pluse would go extremely high but over the last couple of weeks it been like 89/53 with a pluse of 55 so trust me when I say it's very possible
I've been so concerned about my low rate... I feel so relieved now. Thank you so much for this EXCELLENT video, Dr. Gupta! Much love 💜
You have an amazing ability to discuss lucidly. I believe it's proof of your of grasp on the topics discussed. Looking forward to more of your videos on health.
Beautifully explained Doc...you answered so many questions my HEART IS AT EASE! 💙
Omg, this is so relief. My mom's heart fell into the 52-53 range and she was bedbound and I was so worried for almost a week as that was not normal for her. Then her heart rate suddenly went back to the 60s. So weird. This video eased my worry. Thank you doctor.
Excellent video, Sir. I had a pacemaker implanted recently after a couple of episodes of dizziness, but no blackout. I am 78. Your video has clarified many doubts and questions. Thanks again
You are so polite and courteous and funny... besides being simply educational in a simply understandable tone! I've recently started watching many of your TH-cam posts and yesterday started following you in Instagram. Aloha from Hawaii 👋
As usual you were clear , concise and informative Dr. Sanjay. It is always a pleasure listening to you. Thanks.
That was very helpful to know that slow heart rate is not always matter of high concern! Thank you doc 😊
Hello Dr. Gupta,
Thank you so much for this video. My heart rate in the time frame of a year has gone from beating from 125-140 to beating 55-45 and I have been worried BUT your explanation makes me feel much better. I have had 3 episodes where my husband had to call 911 because my blood pressure dropped suddenly and the EMT’s were not able to get a blood pressure reading and I had to spent a few days in the hospital. I’m a 72 yo F, pretty active but have been unable to keep up with my normal pace for 9 months now. I’m under the care of a cardiologist and she is doing her best to find out what is going on BUT I needed to see your video to put my mind to rest. Thank you again for this video, your explanation was very easy to follow and understand. I have been diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
I wake up with a heart rate of 38 bpm. As soon as I get up it jumps to 50 bpm. Then averages out to between 45 - 60 bpm, depending what I am doing (resting or walking around). A brisk walk can take it into the 90 + bpm range. I have been like this all my life. I am 76 today and have never felt better.
interesting. my partner is56 and he kept on fainting in public and turns out he had 36 pulse in hospital. Symptoms dizzyness and shortness of breath too. He has had an MRI scan and has a pacemaker
@@beaulieuc8910what was the cause?
Same here male 32
Same i get 39 when i wake up, im 37. thanks for this
@@visionpainting23what about in afternoon ?
Hey Doc it’s just amazing how I stumble across your videos JUST WHEN I’m going through something stressful like low heart rate in this instance ..... you’re quite literally a God send...you should know that!!!! because each time I’ve found you it’s been accidental and I’d been battling either with anxiety induced palpitations or something or the other to do with bradycardia or ectopic beats...I then got a halter monitor put on for 24 hours and was diagnosed with atrial ectopy.
Anyhow just wanted to leave a comment as you said you’d like that and I also wanted to share my gratitude! I have not met a Heart Doc as detailed and half as knowledgeable as you Dr Sanjay .... I’m so lucky to have found you !! So much love and kindest regards from Pakistan! Xoxo

Great video! I love all your videos. Thanks for taking the time to record your videos. They are awesome!!
Hi Dr. Gupta. I have a connective tissue disease called Ehlers Danlos syndrome and along with it come so many lovely comorbitities like POTS and dysautonomia. I've recently been having bradycardia at night and I just wanted to tell you that hearing you say my heart won't just stop made me instantly burst into tears. This is such a terrifying experience and even though sometimes I can help myself by doing vagus nerve activation the fear that my children will wake up to a dead mother is so real and it's affecting me every day of my life. I've been brushed off because of a normal ekg and I'm using your videos to empower myself. Thank you. You might not realize how much you're helping some of us, but you really are. Thank you, and may you always be blessed
Me too!! EDS and my heart rate got down to 38 one night. I am constantly in the 40s and 50s at night and can get Tachycardia in the day
Hi ! I am also an Ehlers Danlos person - nite time heart rate is 48-51. Low Pressure too but no symptoms. Yes - have dysautonomia.
( and 10 or so other diagnoses) Do either of you have Rh negative type blood and/ or left handedness in family ? I have both. Ehlers - Danlos - very mysterious.
Dr. Gupta...you are a Godsend. I am so happy I found your videos. I wish all doctors explained things like you do.
Thankyou for this, I have been on Flecanide and Atenolol for my paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. To improve my health I have stared dieting and have found that my resting heart rate has dropped down to the low 40s. This is causing light headedness, so after watching this I have made an appointment with my GP to address the issue. I LOVE your channel, it has given me wonderful insight to how my “ticker” functions and more importantly given me confidence to ask intelligent questions of my cardiologist. Thanks a million!
Awww wonderful. SO glad you found it helpful.
Thank you so much for watching. I appreciate it. It would mean a tonne if you'd consider sharing the video with anyone who may benefit and also subscribing to the channel. best wishes
Sanjay
Thank you so much for this excellent video! It is a great explanation in language that a non-doctor like myself can understand. I have been having a lower heart rate according to my readings, I am quite certain as a result of a beta-blocker that my doctor has put me on. I have been very anxious about this, and addressed it with my doctor. He unfortunately could not explain to me or calm me nearly as well as you did in this video. I have lowered my dosage of the beta-blocker and my blood pressure readings have remained relatively stable. Ideally, I will do away with the beta blocker completely, in consultation with my doctor. I have had slight dizziness when standing up, but more crucially I have noticed myself awakening suddenly in the middle of the night, consequently disturbing my sleep and causing other issues from not getting a well-rested sleep. Thanks again!!!
I know I many years late since you posted this video, but I want to thank you because you’ve put my mind at ease. I’m 45 years old and while I am a former smoker and overweight, I have done a lot of cardio exercise throughout my life. It’s only in the past 5 or 6years that I’ve gained weight. Even more recently I’ve started cardio again and I’m able to go inline skating for about an hour without issue. This is how I figured my heart is ok.
But I’ve noticed that my resting heart rate while lying down is anywhere from 52 to 58 BPM and it’s freaked me out. It’s really when it’s closer to 52 that I get really concerned. BUT I don’t feel lightheaded, my feet aren’t tingling or cold... so I guess... by your explanation, I’m actually fine. Thank you. (I’ll check with my cardiologist soon too)
People who workout a lot have a lower pulse , because their heart muscle is strong and per beat can process more blood than unfit person
my partner works out a lot and he had dizzy spells shortness of breath and fainting, he has now a pacemaker@@theancientsancients1769
Thank you for this video. I had a pacemaker fitted 7 months ago and have been concerned that my husband’s resting pulse is also too slow as it is in the 50s. As he assures me that he is never light headed, mine often was, you have put my mind at rest. ❤
my partner has a low resting pace, and he fainted when it got to 36 in a bus. He has pacemaker fitted. Only only 56 years
thank you doctor for your honesty, you could have instead sell illness and cause anxiety and get more clients and do more surgery and get rich easily. The information Mr. Gupta shared was not forthcoming from anywhere. Thanks much Doc.
Thank you for putting my mind at rest. My father felt a little bit weak today and I put the odometer on his finger giving a reading of 47. He’s 76 been to the doctor and is due to see specialist soon. Possible diagnosis of bradycardia but this video that I played to him had set his and my mind at rest.
Than you so much for creating this TH-cam channel. Your videos are so important and heart settling, pardon the pun
how is your dad now?
47 is not low, at least not dangerously low, why the scare? What is his usual heart rate?
Dr it’s one of the most encouraging and enlightening information I ever get on bradycardia, I’m in this bracket and is an elderly very active i must let you know nevertheless most of my concerns and fears is being addressed by you . Thank you and I’m a follower from now.
Thank you so much doctor for your extremely informative video. I recently went to my cardiologist and was told that my resting heart rate was 39. I have always had a relatively slow heart rate, but have been asymptomatic. I am going for an echocardiogram tomorrow, and then to see an electrophysiologist for further evaluation. I trust my care team completely, but I am very hesitant to have a pacemaker installed if it is not absolutely necessary. Your video makes a very good case to be sure that all the boxes have been checked so to speak before having what might be unnecessary surgery. Thank you once again! Cheers!
THANK YOU sooooooo much! Exactly what I needed to learn! I just had to subscribe. Looking forward to going through your other videos. Beverley
Thanks so much. This video put many fears to rest. That alone is very beneficial. I hope you are well!
Thanks doc. Your video saved me from anxiety about my low heart rate ❤️
Nicely explained! The heart is so much more interesting than I've imagined.
Thank you so much for explaining the low heart rate while sleeping. I have been so incredibly worried about it. I feel so much relief now
Thank You So Much! I have Bradycardia and this question of dying in my sleep has terrified me. Thanks for your teaching me not to be afraid and to understand the nature of the problem.
Tom Blewett my husband got baricardia May I ask please what is your reading and your age as slow heart rate more happens moe in the over60
I'm so glad you are around for reassurance... I've been so let down by the NHS . Thankyou with all my heart ❤️
Gotta tell you I love your videos! I am 67 and have had 6 strokes, open heart surgery for mechanical mitral valve, I have HOCM and vascular disease. Oh and also suffer from Afib! But still keep recovering and one would never know I have had so much trouble. Took me a long time to come back from a few strokes especially my first stroke which was a brain stem stroke, I could not walk or talk for a while. I really appreciate all the good information I get from your channel, we all know when we go to doctor we never remember what we wanted to ask until we are out the door. So thank you so much please keep sharing all this good information.
Thank you very much for this video, my husband was told today that they believe he has Bradycardia when he sleeps. He had a sleep study done a couple of days ago and our Doctor called us to tell us that he wants my husband to see a cardiologist. This made me feel so much better!!!

This information has possibly given me life. I was told recently that I have bradycardia. And yes, stress filled my entire being because, the cardiologist called me and told me that he is ordering a pacemaker and that he is calling the Ministry of Transportation to revoke my licence. I was told all this in one breath, on one phone call with no other explanation and honestly, I became a basket case for a few weeks. I finally had to calm down, am seeing an excellent acupuncturist, changed my diet, increased exercise, and am still ticking. Thank you Dr Gupta for sharing all you did. This is by far the best explanation, and now have a better understanding of bradycardia. May you always be Blessed!!!
Thank you so much for a simple, reassuring explanation
Just found your site . I’m 77 and fit. After Covid booster my BP and pulse went crazy . Extra beats 5-6 hours a day. Beta blockers given . Makes extra beats worse . P38. Not dizzy. I am less anxious because of your site . What a talent to all of us. Thank you
This has instantly put my mind at rest. My wife gave me her fit bit yesterday as I got her a new I watch. I’ve noticed my heart rate has gone down too 50 and hovers at rest between 57 and 62 at rest. I’ve got no symptoms.
Thank you so much

You are a fantastic explainer, you make complex things very understandable!
Great. You explained in such a simple way. Thank you.
Well said dear. You explained in a simple but the best way to understand bradycardia. Keep up the good work . Thanks dear.
you are such a noble and knowlegeable soul, you try to calm people anxiety by not scaring them but providing factual information, Keep doing that you are making such a great impact on humanity, thank you!!.
This was immensely useful! I just had a pacemaker implanted in my chest and had tons of questions. You just answered a bunch of them. Thank you!
Just curious what caused you to get a pacemaker what kind of symptoms were you having? Thanks
Thank you so much for this video. I recently got myself a smart watch and was excited to track my sleep with it. To my shock I was seeing my heart rate drop in the 30's while sleeping. Scared me to no end and google was NOT my friend. This made me feel so much better. While I'll still bring it up to my doctor but I won't be on edge while waiting to hear back.
I m having symptoms like whenever i get scared or suddenly get up or suddenly sit , my heart rate slows down and i cannot breath it continues for almost 30 to 40 seconds… can u tell me what is it
Definitely not "boring" Dr Sanjay, you are an excellent communicator, and if i ever have the misfortune to suffer a coronary, i do hope it will be in the vicinity of York.
Thank you.
This just helped me so much. I will go to bed with less worry tonight. I am so grateful to you and to everyone who has commented here. Now I know I am not alone and others have this too and are living just fine. I am overjoyed.
Thank you so much for this video, it really helped me understand and put my mind at ease. :)
You explain complicated medical health questions and issues in a simple easy to follow manner. :)
God Bless.

This is the best video I have seen on this topic. Thank you for posting.
I have watched several of your presentations now and these have given me a far richer understanding of my own heart condition. Your explanations are very clear and precise and just at the correct level of detail to make them informative and meaningful without being overwhelmed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all.
Thanks a lot Doctor. You clarified all of my questions in my mind. Have a great day!👍
My dear Doctor Sanjay Gupta, thanks for putting my mind at ease. Twenty-five years ago, my family doctor was really concerned that my heartbeat could drop as low as 40 BPM. He finally came to the conclusion that my heart was working very efficiently and that was the explanation. I was at that time 49 years of age. Recently, I had an EKG done and my cardiologist consultant picked right up immediately that my BMP was less than 60 and in the mid 40's. He ordered that I maintain a log of my BP in the AM and PM before taking medications for a period of 15 days. At the end of the 15 days I could either fax, mail or drop the log off at his office. He further order that I should wear the Holt Monitor for a period of 14 days. Of course there is a waiting period of this time and I will be fitted on December 5th. Yes, I have been worried that my heart could in fact stop and that I could have a heart attack or stroke. Again, thanks for putting my mind at ease. I don't know where this journey will end concerning my low heart beat but I believe the outcome will be good as I do not feel dizzy nor have I ever blacked out.
Thanks for explaining and good bless you 🙏
Thank you for your level headed explanation. My 81 year-old Dad has this and it has put me at ease.
Thank you for posting this, Doctor Gupta!
Thank you! I am fasting for 3 days (my first time) ending day 2 currently and my blood pressure is wonderful but my bpm is 58. I intermittent fast daily 20/4 and wanted to fast for personal reasons not related to weight loss. I was concerned until watching this video. Thank you so much. Day 3 here I come!
My low rate started just about the same time I started fasting.. I dont know if theres a relation. Im on day 9 and Im experiences dizzy spells, low rate
Thank you for this great and thorough explanation!
Fantastic! You resolved all the thoughts popping in the head, that too when i am out of country . Thankyuu very much 😊👍
Thank you so much for this video. I was diagnosed as a Sinus Bradycardia I was so scared to go sleep, thinking that I would no wake up. Your vidéo reassured me.
God bless you Dr.

I appreciate your enlightening perspective on low heart rate while sleeping. I was concerned for months about a less than 40 BPM while asleep. Other videos and online research only added more confusion. My cardiologist didn’t reply to my inquiries. This makes sense and puts me at ease. Many thanks!
Since covid many have low pulse , my sister has a low pulse at 40 at rest . Her doctor is saying now she may need a pacemaker
@@theancientsancients1769 Wow, that is interesting, and concerning- I had Covid in late 2020 into 2021 and wonder if it has anything to do with the low HR...

Hello,
how long have you had this bradycardia? what is your lowest bpm per minute? what are all your symptoms? where does this bradycardia come from? Are you taking any medications for it? what do the cardiologists and specialists you have seen say? what do they offer? Do you work despite all these symptoms? how long have you had this bradycardia? if not, how old are you, if you don't mind? thank you
Thank you for this video! I am 66 and a runner with a resting heartbeat of 42-46, sometimes 38 according to my applewatch. I feel great, Nuevo will not worry about having a slow heartbeat!!
I walk a lot. Heart rate after walking goes to 35 and I'm 70. He sure made me feel better. Golf in the morning. Thanks.
I just finished watching your video and I heave a huge sigh of relieve! You are God sent!
I was thinking my heart is going to stop beating when I sleep.
Wow! This is very important information for me. My heart has always been slow, less than 50 and I was very worry but I never have any signs of black out or dizziness at all. This information put me at ease. Thanks.
Thank you for this explanation, it was well presented.
Thank you so much doc, for the thorough explanation, I needed this right at this time. I am grateful. Blessings 🙏🏾
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, Doctor! I love your videos!! Blessings from the Caribbean!!
Thank you so much for this video. I just had my pacemaker inserted. I wish my doctor had this conversation with me before and after. I feel so much better now after watching your video; understanding is the best thing in. The world. I will share your video with my family so they will understand as well. 😇❤❤Again thank you soooooo much.
This video helped me a lot. I will get a pace maker in a couple of days due to bradycardia, and your explanation helps me understand it so much better!
