Medical Conditions - Bradycardia

Bradycardia is a condition where there is a decrease in heart rate. Sick sinus syndrome, heart block, injury to the heart, sleep apnea, electrolyte imbalance, Lyme disease, side effects to medication, etc., are some of the causes of bradycardia. This leads to dizziness, weakness, syncope, confusion, chest pain, etc. In most conditions, bradycardia does not require treatment. In severe cases, a pacemaker is used to correct the heartbeat.
