Re: Medications used to treat sinus bradycardia

We just covered this in my pathophysiology class. The entire two hour lecture was over EKGs. What is causing this sinus Bradycardia? Did the Doctor day? Here is a brief description of Sinus Bradycardia.

Sinus bradycardia means that the sinus node, which normally controls the overall heart rate, is generating electrical signals that are slower than they normally should be. Sinus bradycardia is present if the sinus node is producing less than 60 electrical signals per minute. Sinus bradycardia is not necessarily abnormal, though. Young, healthy people often have heart rates of less than 60 per minute, especially when resting or sleeping. Athletic people will usually have heart rates less than 60 because their hearts become very efficient at pumping (unlike people who are out of shape). It can be the result of medications taken for high blood pressure, angina, or tachycardia. If there are no symptoms due to a sinus bradycardia (particularly when it occurs for the above reasons), then nothing needs to be done about it. However, when sinus bradycardia occurs because of a physical deterioration of the sinus node, it can cause serious problems; fore example,
Sick Sinus Syndrome: is the name given to a condition in which disease of the sinus node causes severe slowing of the heart beat associated with significant symptoms. Sometimes the sinus node stops firing temporarily, and long pauses in the heart rhythm may result. This condition causes symptoms of fatigue, lightheadedness, shortness of breath, and even fainting. There can be a disease of the sinus node from ischemia, scarring, or physical damage. There can also be sinus node problems due to medications, hormonal conditions (such as an underactive thyroid gland) or neurological imbalances. What is causing your Sinus Bradycardi???????

What ever the cause is, It won't hurt you to start detoxifying the body. This will get you started. Let us know what caused this problem as soon as you can. WE want to help you.
