Please get a 7 days Loop recorder test or 48 hrs Holter test done. Loop recorder is better as the episode is not daily, hence less chances of picking it up on Holter. Do your routine activities while this monitoring is on. We will know what kind of abnormal fast and slow heart rhythms you get. here is something called as Tachy Brady syndrome, and if we pick it up through these tests then pacemaker may help. On the other hand, bradycardia could be due to medicines, if you don't get dizzy with bradycardia, then don't worry.
