Should I Go To Cardiologist Soon?
Hi, I went for Physical check up this morning. They did the EKG and told me that my heart rate is 52. So I was referred to Cardiologist. I had fever yesterday and took ibrufen tablets. Will it affect my heart rate? How soon should I go to Cadiologist?

Hi,
Ibuprofen usually doesn't affect heart rate. Fever can affect heart rate only in very severe cases.
Sometimes people have slow heart rates, which is normal for them, especially athletes.
If you don't have any complaints, dizziness, weakness, episodes of loss of consciousness, there is nothing to worry, just refer to cardiologist for a regular check up.
Wishing you good health
