Suggest Medication For Dizziness And Fatigue Due To Low Heart Rate
A little over 3 weeks ago I went to the hospital due to a flurry of symptoms that I could not explain. I had not been feeling right for some time. I was experiencing extreme fatigue, dizziness and just feeling as if something was wrong. After running tests they told me my calcium level was too high and something about enzymes in my blood. The doctor was convinced that there was a blockage in my heart so he did a heart catheterization, but found no blockage. He said that there was minor heart damage probably caused by stress but was treatable with medication. He decided not to give me the meds due to the fact that my heart rate was so low. I was in the hospital for 2 days. I was told to take an aspirin a day and to see a Dr.in 2 weeks. Since that time I have been experiencing a feeling of warmth spreading down the left side of my body, mainly in chest and arm. This only seems to occur when I lie down and get relaxed at night. I did not see a doctor because I moved out of town the following week. I usually feel fine during the day when I am up and moving around. I often feel an uncomfortable pressure right in the middle of my chest that feels like I need to burp.
You mentioned regarding slow pulse rate, have you been monitoring it, you should monitor it regular at rest and at activities, have you been on any medicine for rate control, doctor might have given you thinking blockages.
Secondly, your other complaints looks like gastritis and reflux disease so you should avoid spicy and fatty foods. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. Also maintain sleep habits regular and also do regular exercises. Have some walk after meals instead of taking rest immediately. You can take acid suppressant like tab pantoprazole.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
