Author Topic: WTF Just got my heart rate checked at it's between 38-43bpm resting rate??? (Read 5111 times)

BigCyp · « **on:** August 23, 2012, 06:39:21 AM »

I know 60bpm can be normal (and a little below) for conditioned athletes, but over the last year I have done ZERO cardio, as it fucks up my optic nerve and makes me blind for a while (MS joys)

How the hell can my heart rate be so low (low as 38 bpm)

One theory is that the lesions in my Cerebellum affect the signals to the sinus node (which controls the heart rate) - well at least i'm getting good mileage on my heart muscles.

Oh brother.

Cripes. How do you not pass out watching tv? When's the last time you rode a roller coaster?

Haha I know it's fucked up. I must admit, when I feel it get real low into the 30's I do get real dizzy and start zoning out.

Have you thought about seeing a cardiologist? The fact that you don't do cardio, and your rate is that low is scary. Also, if you're synchopal episodes, something not right.

vasovagal syncope, i.e., fainting.

FWIW: I also do very little cardio and mine is now lower than ever at ~50 bpm.

When I trained for the marathon I had under 40 too. If you are not training for endurance, you could be in trouble...
Cerebellum story is bull.

Lol endurance, I don't even do 5 mins on the bike haha.

Bull, why so doc? It makes sense to me, that a plaque in the Cerebral Cortex could affect the sinus node, and cause bradycardia...

How was it tested?

That's very low, i know a guy who was in incredible shape who got down in the 30's and his Doc freaked out. This guy did massive amounts of cardio and was about 155 pounds, played a lot of sports his entire life.

Mine is around 60-70.
