Bradycardia with hypotension may cause symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, dizziness, and fatigue. In severe cases, it can lead to dangerous complications including hypotensive shock and cardiac arrest. It is recommended to maintain a reasonable lifestyle and dietary habits in daily life, ensure a proper balance between work and rest, avoid excessive fatigue, and engage in regular physical exercise to enhance resistance and promote blood circulation, thereby improving symptoms. When necessary, a cardiac pacemaker may also be implanted to increase heart rate.
