While these values given are not specific , obtain a referral to a cardiologist, or go to an ER since weakness, dizziness and shortness of breath need more definitive testing for a diagnosis.

Unless your symptoms and signs warrant hospitalization, you'll be best served by seeing a cardiologist directly for evaluation and appropriate testing. Besides the physical examination,EKG, echocardiogram ,outpatient cardiac monitoring will be arranged to determine the significance of your bradycardia & irregular heart rhythm. When you're lightheaded & weak from low BP, lying supine is recommended
