hi well come to hcm
You should take her to hospital.It seems that her heart rate seems to be very low.
This could be due to complete heart block leading to cerebral anoxia which gives
rise to convulsion.She will need pace maker immediately.This is a conclsion on
your mentioning heart rate only one haeart beat every 2o seconds Thanks
