With my exp. all his MRI etc will be normal. His low BP is due to dementia resulting in poor conditioning. Low heart rate is not a problem unless he has heart block to dx by EKG. Best treatment is hydration, keeping him active and engaged esp. walking to increase his muscle tone. must be careful to avoid his falling.
