Hi,

If this is the bradycardia and not with the sinus origin then case need to be kept under observation and if the heart drops too much low then it may require the pacemaker, but in case of sinus bradycardia and exercise-induced bradycardia may not need any treatment.

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