What Causes Nagging Pain Under Rib Cage And Neck When Suffering From Bradycardia?

I am 32 5 4 200 lbs in the last several months I have experienced multiple scares with my health first one being I went to the hospital because I felt really faint, it was then that they diagnosed me with bradycardia, so when I went to see the heart specialist he did a 24 hr. hoilter moniter on me and said at this point he just felt I had something else going on, and that I needed to see my primary doctor and just chucked it up to bradycardia, now my blood pressure is sometimes to high or sometimes to low, I also get really dizzy to the point it is hard to concentrate and feel nauseated, my blood work came back fine, it did say I have a possible blood clot but after numerous catscans etc. they could not find nothing, the veins in my legs just keep busting but the doctor said it was just artificial, I have a nagging pain under my left rib cage and my neck sometimes feels as if it is jello and I don t want to hold it up

Dear sir/ madam
Thanks for writing to us.
A pain under rib cage can have multiple causes. These may relate to liver, stomach, lungs, gall bladder or heart. A heart related pain usually comes on exercise and is relieved by rest. It can not be elicited by touch or pressure, unlike local pain.
Possibly, bradycardia was secondary to some systemic issues. Stimulation of vagus nerve in abdomen is a common mechanism in such cases.
Sincerely
