im a 24 y.o woman. generally active (run 5-6 times a week) but Ive been feeling fatigued lately and experiencing dizziness, shortness of breath, and chest tension. My normal blood pressure is 100/70 and resting heart rate of 55-60 bpm but ive been measuring 100/60 lately with a resting heart rate of 48-55 bpm. Should I be concerned?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Resting heart rate of 48-55 is considered as low. Blood pressure reading of 100 systolic is also considered as low. So we should definitely rule out heart block (conduction defect) for your symptoms. So get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
