Low Heart Rates with POTS, EDS or Anxiety

I have that with my Apple watch!! I went to a cardiologist and they said that could be normal but it could also be an indication of other things like dehydration?

The conditions you described are more associated with tachycardia, although there are some exceptions. To find the right reason, you should perform several diagnostic tests like ECG, Holter monitor, and echoc

Spoonii: yes I had to decrease my dosage which helped but I definitely still have episodes of my heart rate being so low but they have decreased in frequency!!!

Allie_May: I also take atenolol so that may be the cause? i’m not sure. my heart rate can go to the 190’s it’s just lately it’s been going into the 40’s as well. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have both EDS and POTS and where my heart rate at baseline is in the 140’s.. I do have episodes where I drop in the low 40’s and even up in the 200’s. I take a supplement called Saltstick Vitassium and a prescription medication called Atenolol…

Zedgirl: Not that i’ve noticed. Idk it’s weird lol.

Hmm that has happened to me a couple times but I don’t really notice it, I only see it when I check my heart rate log for the day. Interesting that it goes so low so often 🧐 does it cause you any symptoms?

chloi213: Thank you. I hope so too.

applejuice: me too! i always get so scared. I’m thinking it could be a medicine i’m taking but i’m not sure.

that happens to me! it freaks me out, it goes anywhere from the 50s into the high 30s

I have a low heart rate but not that often! that is interesting and I hope you get some answers
