I had posted this question in the Heart Disease forum but then I thought it would be better here...
I was diagnosed with Sinus bradycardia two years ago, I had no symptoms except slow heart beat. As low as 37 BPM when sleeping. With exercise it would go up to 120 or so. My Doctor suggested a pacemaker...I declined at the time because of not having any symptoms. Anyway, about a month ago after some some exhausting work building a wall in my yard I came into my house. I was quite thirsty and drank several glasses of water, I was also worn out. After laying down for several minutes I noticed that my heart was still beating pretty fast. It stayed higher than normal all night. I called my Doctor the next day and she gave me a EKG, the results said normal sinus rhythm. My heart rate on my original EKG two years ago was 44 BPM on this one it was 58BPM The Doctor then gave me a 48 hr. Holter test. Again the same results, normal sinus rhythm and higher heart rates (60BPH average). Why would I no longer have Sinus Bradycardia but just a littler slower than normal resting heartbeat. My Heart Doctor gave me the impression that Sinus Bradycardia would not get better...
