With a resting heart rate of 48 and 40 upon waking, how much lower does it go and could it cause mild edema?

Question

Have MVP with mild regurgitation, 'palps', air hunger and ringing ears (more like a whine - drives me nuts!).

Answer 1

It is very unlikely that a reduced heart rate will cause edema. More likely that you have some venous insuffiency.

If a heart rate were the problem, then the first symptom I would expect is light-headedness and/or passing out. This would not be attributal to heart rate until it is documented to have greater than a 2 second pause (which is a 30 bpm rate).

All of the other things you mention add up to a picture of a patient who suffers from anxiety - and probably a significant degree of worry.

Be well. Try not to worry, this is not serious from what you describe. Good luck.

Answer 2

you have consulted a few doctors about this?

if not.. do so.

medications can solve this problem.
