I feel that frequent dropping of heart beat below 30 should be investigated. An ECG is a simple easily accessible non-invasive investigation which will rule out serious heart diseases. If there is a evidence of disease of conducting system of heart from ECG and if you develop frequent fainting, altered mental status and low blood pressure probably you may need a permanent pace maker. Further, investigation for disease conditions such as acidosis, electrolyte imbalance, hypoglycemia, increased intracranial pressure etc., may help to identify contributing factors for your lower heart rate; if these conditions are treated you might get rid of your problem of low heart rate.
