Very Low RHR, Mild S1 Hypertension
by sasquatch989, Jan 31, 2008 03:16PM
I am an athlete and I am aware that we tend to get brady, but I also have a bp of 140+ over 80+.
I'm concerned that I might have a node issue. Heart Probs don't run in my family, nor do metabolic disorders. I'm 6'3" 245lb, 18% BF, VO2 max is well above 50 ml/kg/min. I don't do long distance aerobics but maintain high VO2 max from lots of anaerobic work (think sprints, etc).
Is there any one who might have a good idea what is going on? The last thing I want is a pacemaker but I'll do what I have to.

Just a thought: I've never been one to watch my Na intake. I don't intentionally add salt to my food but i definitely don't keep track of it either.
