What Causes Severe Fatigue And Dizziness Along With Breathing Difficulty?

I was seen in the ER two nights ago because I didn t feel well but couldn t figure out what was wrong. Had checked my BP at home which was normal range but my pulse was 36. At the ER the EKG showed a rate of 30. They called a code but once I was monitored my SATs were above 95 and in the end they sent me home and I wenton a holter monitor in the morning. I still feel aweful. Extreme fatigue, dizzinese when sitting from lying or sitting to standing. Also episodes of labored breathing, nausea and neck pressure going into my head when going from sitting to standing or bending over. I am running a HR of 40s to 50s. I have a hx of prolonged qt inter val and some right side heart enlargement. I am type II diabetic and take levothyroxine for elevated TSH. I have also been on Celexa and Wellbutrin for depression. I am also on Lisinopril and lovastatin. I am worried to death that I continue to feel so bad but they didn t bring in a cardiologist to see me. There were no opening for me to be seen in the clinic where I received the holter monitor. Can t see cardiologist until June 30th. Should I be worried? Should I try to find a cardiologist in another practice sooner? Bonnie YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

You have heart block I think after seeing all your reports hearts rate is indeed low? How is the thyroid function? If it's not good then you should definitely control that because a low thyroid profile can cause a low heart rate. You should see a cardiologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
