It is possible that bradycardia (abnormally slow heart rate) has developed over a short period, so there is no need for excessive concern. Alternatively, the symptoms may stem from cerebral hypoperfusion (inadequate blood supply to the brain). Identifying the underlying cause and initiating timely treatment are essential. It is also important to maintain a calm and positive mindset. If you remain uneasy, consider undergoing a 24-hour Holter monitor (ambulatory ECG) to assess cardiac activity; any abnormalities detected should be treated promptly.
