63 three year old male pulse 47 to 51 BP 137/84 feeling very light headed

My wife is eight weeks pregnant, and over the last two weeks has begun to experience breathing difficulties. She has been diagnosed with bradycardia (her BPM is generally between 53 and 62 - both after excercise and rest, and even in states of extreme anxiety. Nothing seems to raise it).

Several times a day - and throughout most nights - she experiences a sensation as is someone is putting intense pressure on her chest, and cannot catch her breath. There is chest pain sometimes, and she likens the sensation to drowning. The symptoms are made worse by the attendant anxiety the sensation causes, which in turns makes breathing even harder.

Her blood pressure and oxygen saturation are both normal.

Or local doctor has offered no explanation, but has suggested that it might possibly be a physical reaction to heightened levels of progesterone in the blood (perhaps causing changes to the elasticity of the ligaments controlling movement of her ribs, and so possibly causing rubbing against the sternum - though that is purely speculation).

Our doctor seems rather XXXXXXX and has said she is not inclined to refer my wife to an obstetrician 'yet', but the symptoms are becoming unendurable. My query is - are there risks to either mother or unborn child related to bradycardia that we should be aware of? And if so, what are they? Should we be worried? Any information or insight would be gratefully received.

my husband is 48 years old, 5'8" tall and weighs 13½ stone. He has been suffering with a persistent headache for the past week that is not relieved with painkillers. We have a home blood pressure monitor and his BP has been 163/100 and 163/111 in the morning, and 155/104 in the evening. He has always had a low resting heart rate (around 48-50), and his cholesterol has always been low too. He has Coeliac disease. Should he see a doctor?

Is there any contraindication with respect to taking blood thinners if one has bradycardia?

My resting heart rate is 48-55 No other symptoms other than I cam concerned that is too low ?

Hello i am not bystolic 5mg since october 3rd, i am taking also prisitq 50, but it seems that since it worksmon norpinephrine is counteracting the bystolic effect. So my doctor wanted me to switch to prozac 20 mg. i know that bystolic has some interaction with prozac. Do you think will it be safe to use both? Thanks.

I had a defibrillator put in 2 yrs ago after a TIA Nothing has ever happened since then Should I have it removed I had a defibrilllator put in 2yrs ago after a TIA as they found my heart beating too slow. I ve gone thru all the monthly checks and never once had a sense of this kicking in. Maybe the doctors were too fast to put it in. Should I have it removed. My BP and other vitals are fine. I am 64.

I am a 37 year old male, 5,9 and 150lbs. I have had untreated BP for around 8 years, 140/90 up to 150/100. I have a pulse rate as low as 41. My BP is now getting addressed in recent weeks with pills. I do not have any form of exercise within an average day. I do eat well daily, low salt and fresh food not processed. I do not drink much alcohol, 3 or 4 drinks once or twice a month.

In the past its been my BP i have always spoken to my gp about. At times I get dizzy and feel unwell, fatigue, cold and sometimes a slight shortness in breathing and sometimes a weasing when breathing in. My concern is my pulse rate. My doctors have readings of high 50s from past ECG with my pulse rate. I have monitored my pulse for the last week, getting an average of 47. 

What is the most likely condition and reasons of high BP, low pulse and the above symptoms? In addition what is the best way forward for myself in terms of speaking with my gp regarding pulse and treatment?
