Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am an 18-year-old boy and I weigh 119.8 lbs. My height is 5 feet and 8 inches. I was diagnosed with bradycardia last week. I went to the doctor since I am having frequent seizures for the past three years. I was said that there was nothing to worry but when I looked up at the condition on the internet, it showed all the symptoms that I have. My mom also had the same issue when she was a kid, but she said that it went away after some time. We waited for three years to check if my problem would also resolve but it did not. I have been trying to figure this and the doctors told me that I need to improve my eating and drinking habits, but it never helped. I was asked to do a blood test and the results were fine. I also took an EKG which showed that my heartbeat was slow and that I had bradycardia. I am currently waiting for a call from the cardiologist since they told me that they would give me a heart monitor and a clicker to be used every time I experience seizures, but I have not heard anything in a few days. I have an appointment with the doctor in a few weeks, so I need to know about this further. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Bradycardia is a common problem, and many patients visit my clinic for the same. It can cause you to have symptoms like dizziness, fainting, tiredness, and so on. When patients come to me with this complaint, I usually advise them to eat healthily, lose weight, avoid smoking, and constantly engage in exercise. Avoid sitting or lying down for more than three hours during the daytime. I advise you to wait to receive the heart monitor to be able to decide the best management that will be appropriate for you. I believe since your mum has a similar history, it will be easy for you to manage your condition. Do not worry.

It was a pleasure to have you at icliniq.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
