What Might Lead To Delaying Treatment For Low Heart Beat Of 40 Bpm And BP 160/95?
I am 50 yrs old. My heart beat is 37 to 48 bpm. BP is 160/95. I am always feeling giddiness. Consulted to cardolosists. they recommended me to go for pacemaker as early as possible. If I delay for few months what could be the possible bad things for me?

Hello.....
After your details, it seems that you are suffering from complete heart block (CHB). According to recent guideline, If CHB is symptomatic (Dizziness, giddiness) then one must go for Pacemaker.
Otherwise, some consequences can occur like Syncope, Hypotension, Arrhythmia and even Sudden cardiac arrest.
Thank You
