Please help

My grandmother of 87 years is facing heart related problems. The pulse rate is hovering around 30 beats per second. After doing research, I found that her SA and AV node could have failed. My question is, can temporary pacemaker and drugs treatment can recover SA and AV nodes. Or Permanent Pacemaker is the only option. If the permanent pacemaker is not fitted, what will her health status in near future. Please give your suggestions ASAP because I am undergoing a lot of stress and pain. Please, please help

Is she on any medication such as beta blockers?
I'm not being funny or anything, but why haven't you got her to a specialist already?
I wouldn't be wasting time on research or here, I'd be meeting with a cardiologist. I'm
not trying to be rude, I simply don't understand why people with such concerns aren't
taking immediate action when it involves lives.
