Suggest Treatment For Bradycardia And Low Pulse Rate

My husband was just at a Health Screening. He had an abnormal ECG They called it critical and called it a marked sinus bradycardia. his vent rate was 40. They told him to see his physician within 24 hours. Earlier he had hus pulse taken and it was 49. He doesn t think he needs to see the Dr. He has always had a low pulse but never this low. What do you suggest?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
If he is asymptomatic then no need for emergency.
Some people tend to have sinus bradycardia from birth.
Nothing should be done if he is not having any symptoms of syncope, giddiness, breathlessness, chest pain etc.
But better to take appointment of cardiologist and get done 2d echo, stress test (trade mill test) just to confirm that his bradycardia is benign.
If all these reports are normal then no need to worry this bradycardia.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
