Could Irregular Heart Beats With A Pulse Of 49 Be A Matter Of Concern?
Hi, I am 77 years old with a history of heart problems. I had a heart attack in 2007 and a stent was placed in the circumflex artery. in 2008 I had to have an atrial ablation. I take plavix, aspirin, diovan and bystolic
and nifridpine. I have had a lot of angina recently and occasionally I have arrythmias, but this evening,
the arrythmias are persistent and it makes me feel weak. My blood pressure machine records irregular heartbeats and it has shown that all evening. My last blood pressure was 134/54 with a pulse of 49. Should I be concerned?
