Bradycardia: More information is needed to make a recommendation but make sure there is a check of thyroid function as well as a check of your medications first.

Probably not: Depends on the type of bradycardia you are having and how old you are. Pacemakers are rarely indicated for young people with isolated sinus bradycardia. They would be indicated for severe bradycardia (hr<30) with symptoms or for heart block (where the conduction doesn't make it from the top chambers to the lower chambers).
