Medical professional help here would be appreciated?
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008emdagenais asked:
Can the cells in the heart that help it contract when the natural pacmaker (sino atrial node?) is inefficent be the cause of a more forceful beat(Palpitations?). I have had bradycardia 39bpm for the past ten months, which I think has caused imbalance and the forceful beat of the heart, that is most noticeable laying down in bed. Wondering if when the heart has to take up the slack for the pacemaker, that is why i feel a much harder contraction. Very worried, to this point the cardiologist has found nothing from the ecg, echo, blood test, and holter. Now that want to send me to neurology(????). Any insight into the question is appreciated.
I have not had a pacemaker put in.
