Hello.

Thanks for nice query.     

Heart rate less than 60 beats per minute is known as Bradycardia.

It can be due to many reasons like drugs, sinus bradycardia, etc.


Bradycardia in adult is the resting heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute, generally it is not symptomatic until the rate drops below 50 beat/min.

As your blood pressure is within normal limit, except light headed nothing else is observed .

You must get investigated for the cause with proper investigation under cardiologist's guidance, as rarely, it may cause cardiac arrest in some patients.

Because those with bradycardia, may not be pumping enough oxygen to their heart.

It sometimes results in fainting, shortness of breath, if severe enough.

Hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.

Regards.
