I've been diagnosed with sinus bradycardia. Had thyroid checked, T3 is low but within acceptable range. Doctors not budging on this, refusing to trial me on hypothyroid meds.
What I'd like to know is have any of you taken herbal supplements or similar that have improved bradycardia and symptoms of bradycardia (dizziness is the worst symptom).
I'm not suggesting it's caused by thyroid. I'm aware it might not be .

Have you had a halter monitor for a week, for you heartbeat, gives them a better picture of what is happening, is the bradycardia intermitant, or always there.
?Husband has intermitant bradycardia even with a known heart condition it was very hard to catch the episodes, and even when his heart dropped to 30BPM they initially thought it might be caused by his medication, consultant put paid to that idea very quickly, as he had been seeing husband for last 6 years, pacemaker installed and he has been a lot better, just giving his heart a regular pace helps it beat.
?From my understand of thyroid meds, once you start you cannot stop taking for the rest of your life, so Dr's are not very keen to give them to you unless you absolutely need them.

Having bradycardia means that your heart beats very slowly. For most people, a heart rate of 60 to 100 beats a minute while at rest is considered normal. If your heartbeats less than 60 times a minute, it is slower than normal.
A slow heart rate can be normal and healthy. Or it could be a sign of a problem with the heart's electrical system .
