Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

Your actual heart rate is a little below the normal ranges, indicating bradycardia.

These episodes of dizziness coupled with a low heart rate could be related to a cardiac conductance disorder. An electrolyte imbalance can not be excluded either.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance.

An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help examine your heart rhythm trends for a longer period.

If the above tests result normal, I would recommend consulting with an ENT specialist for a careful physical exam and labyrinthine tests for possible inner ear disorder, which could be the cause of dizziness.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
