Bradycardia
My husband was diagnosed with bradycardia last year, doctors said to change lifestyle ( exercise, sleep more , no coffee, have more veggies n reduce carb ) we are vegetarian so it was easy to change the diet. However last year the bpm was 55 now it's 40-43bpm. Cardiologist is not having any answer n said everything is ok it's just bradycardia n come for a visit if he feels dizzy or passes out. I can wait for situation to get worst . Can anyone suggest what treatment is required? Which specialist i must go to ? Is it very serious ? How much time do I have to get this condition treated ? Anyone help please 😭 🙏

Heart rate below 50 is not suitable. He can have episodes of fainting.
If TMT is normal, Holter is normal and there is no conduction blocks in heart , ECHO is normal then he can be prescribed with medication to increase resting HR.
Next Steps
Not very serious it can be dangerous if falls below 40.
Health Tips
Medication is there to increase HR . But he need a check up by cardiologist
