Fitness Heart Rate Monitors

Posts Tagged ‘dizziness’

I am 28 years old 6′2", 190lbs non smoker very low drinker. For around 2 weeks now I have been experiencing dizziness and fainting. At random points, not linked to exercise or stress, my field of vision closes in and I feel dizzy and faint, and have lost consciousness briefly twice. I have been referred for a 24hr ECG trace but have to wait 7weeks. In the mean time I have been wearing a heart rate monitor (the type you use in the gym) which shows that when an episode occurs my pulse jumps from the mid 80’s to over 200.

Can anyone suggest a likely cause/course of action?

For the last ~2 months, I’ve been experiencing bradycardia, HR 45-49. This is new for me, previously I ran about 75 bpm. I bought a fitness heart rate monitor after I noticed the brady (took my pulse because I felt "heavy" in the chest). The heart rate will come up with exercise but even with the most vigorous effort can’t get it above 140 bpm. I’m not an athlete nor especially fit. No dizziness, +/- fatigue. Anyone experience anything similar?

Lately I have been worried about my heart rate. If I check it when I wake up still in bed it is about 55. After I get up and get going it averages right around 59-67. If I do something active it goes up depending on how active I am being at the time, then it goes back to my average fairly quickly… within minutes usually. I dont have any symptoms like dizziness or fainting but I know this is right at the low end of normal. I am not overweight at all. 5′9" and about 150lbs. The job I have is pretty active… I climb ladders and roofs all day and have been doing this for 7 years now. My only symptom from this is the health anxiety that I get just thinking about it. I check my pulse all the time now with a wrist monitor I bought. Also my blood pressure is usually about 115/75. Thanks

Okay, well my workplace did the Red Cross Blood Donating thing yesterday. I volunteered to donate my blood. Well as the nurse lady was checking my blood pressure and other stuff, I came to find out I’m not eligible to give blood. WHY? because I had a really, really low pulse rate.

I can’t remember but it was either 23 or 32, still low. She said shes never seen it that low and we did it twice. She also said my blood pressure was great but couldn’t tell why I wasn’t dead lol. And no I haven’t exercised for about a month now. I am also male, 20 yrs old.

This started to make me think back about 2 months ago where I started to get dizzy and light-headed a lot during the hot days. I had to go to the doctor. He set me up with a 24 hr heart monitoring system but everything checked out fine.

I started to do some research online, and it basically said if you have a low pulse rate then that just means your heart is in great shape UNLESS you experience dizziness.

Oh God, what does this mean? LOL and I don’t want to see my doctor since I just had a check up last week. I feel fine, but then again I don’t wanna have some sort of cardiac arrest in the near future.

What should I do? Is this something I shouldn’t worry about?
