At Medanta, Bradycardia could be diagnosed using standard tests like measuring the pulse or an electrocardiogram. But often Bradycardia comes and goes. Sometimes, normal tests might not be able to detect Bradycardia unless it happens during the test. Therefore, your doctor might prescribe using an ambulatory electrocardiogram. Also called Holter monitor, this device is light in weight and portable. It will record the activities of your heart as you go about your daily chores.
If the cause of Bradycardia is improper electrical signals, your doctor might implant a tiny device called pacemaker. This device will control your heartbeat rate and whenever it is low, it will release impulses and control the heart.
If the cause is hypothyroidism or electrolytic imbalance, treating it with appropriate medication would cure Bradycardia.
If taking other medicines is the cause of Bradycardia in you, your doctor might prescribe different medicines or adjust dosages. In unavoidable circumstances, a pacemaker may be inevitable.
If you faint, have chest pain for more than a few minutes or have difficulty in breathing, you need immediate medical attention.
