Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of heart block is more.
Heart block means there is interruption in impulse conduction in the heart. Resting heart rate of 36 and low blood pressure are mores suggestive of heart block.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done
1. Ecg.
2. 2d echo
3. Stress test
4. Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ecg).
You may need pacemaker insertion to increase your heart rate.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
