Hello,
You can safely take gabapentin and vimovo as it will not have any impact on your heart rate and bradycardia will not get worsened. Moreover the procedure will be under anaesthesia and your Anaesthetist will take care of your heart rate.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Shinas Hussain
