Hello doctor, I have high blood pressure and I take Labetalol 200 mg once a day. I was started on this before eight months after my daughter was born. I notice now while monitoring my blood pressure that my heart rate is very low like 53 bpm. Should I be concerned?
Hello. Your pulse rate at 53 bpm is slightly low but not too low to cause any concern. It can be of concern when it becomes lower and presents with symptoms such as lightheadedness or fainting. In case you develop these symptoms please contact the physician that prescribed the Labetalol about adjusting the dosage.
