2. What are the symptoms of bradycardia?

If the heart beats too slowly, it may not pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the brain and body, causing symptoms such as:

  • Lightheadedness or dizziness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Fatigue
  • A fluttering or pounding heartbeat
  • Difficulty concentrating or confusion
  • Fainting spells

Symptoms can be mild and easy to overlook, especially in older adults. In some cases, people with bradycardia may not experience symptoms at all. A heart rate below 50 beats per minute is more likely to cause noticeable issues, though some individuals may tolerate it without problems.
