What Causes Low Blood Flow Through Heart, Low BP And Heart Rate?
Had an abnormal EKG. Went to a cardiologist and he did a stress test. He said everything looked good and that I just naturally have low blood flow through my heart. I found an EKG that was done in 2006 and looks just like the current one - the line doesn t come back up to where it started when it drops down. I had then in a bunch of different nodes . The cardiologist said I didn t need to come back but everything I read on the internet (and we know the internet is always right :) states this is a sign of heart disease. I m 55, thin, naturally low BP (90/65), low heart rate (60) but smoked for 35 years - just quit 10/2014. Should I get another opinion?
if stress test is normal then you can repeat the ECG. go for cardiac profile and if every thing is normal then need not worry must not repeat smoking habit need not worry about low BP. in many cases it is normal. it is also normal for athletes.
