Bradycardia: Bradycardia, in adults (not in children) is defined as heart rate slower than 60 beats per minutes.  It can be perfectly normal in people who are athletic.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Anything is possible: But it's not likely. Bradycardia is defined as a heart rate <60. Heart rates of >50 are well tolerated by everyone. Heart rates of 40-50 during wakefulness sometimes cause fatigue. Sustained heart rates of <40 usually cause unacceptable fatigue and breathlessness. Pauses of > 3-5 seconds may cause dizziness. Pauses of > 5 seconds often cause blackouts. Pauses of > 2 minutes may cause death.

Question 9

could it be something bad if i have bradycardia?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: How low is the heart rate and do you have any symptoms at this level: fatigue, dizzy, confused...Some elite athletes can have very low heart rate but for the general population, depending on the factors above, it could also indicate a heart conduction problem (or medication side effects).  See your primary care physician who knows you best to see if this is something to be concerned about.
