What Causes Sick Sinus Syndrome?

Ok, I have been diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome. Bradycardia at lows around 30. Tachycardia around 300, for less than a minute. From what I ve seen I don t have any of the normal causes of said illness. What could have caused this since my cardiologist has no idea.

Hi,

Thanks For your query on HCM

I do understand your concern

"As"per your clinical history is concerned you have bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome and it is a type of sick sinus syndrome,so the main cause of this condition is due to past surgery in childhood,medication for high blood pressure,heart muscle issues like muscular dystrophy.So consult with your treating doctor to use a dual chamber pace maker .

Some preventive steps which you can take at home may help-:

1)Try to reduce your weight if you are over weight

2)Do exercise regularly and eat a balanced diet which contains low fat diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables.

3)keep your blood pressure and lipid profile under control

4)Avoid smoking and drinking

5)control stress by doing meditations

6)Do regular check up by your treating doctor and make a plan for it and please note these clinical symptoms like [fatigue,lightheadedness,chest pains,fainting etc]

Hope that helps
