Im a few stone overweight and seem to have a slow heart rate, around the 60 mark, also last few days ive had weird feelings down both arms, really bad dizzyness, and weird feelings in my head, and feel like I cant get a good breath,stabbing pains around heart area and just a uncomfy feeling all symptoms ive had before, if u look at my previous posts u will see wot I mean, so does anyone else get this and I just cant seem to axcept that this is anxiety/stress/depression like the docs keep telling me [ had loads of differnt tests]
anyone have any simlar symptons or advice for me, this has been going on for over a year now and I dont think I can take much more

Hi acid,
i am the same my resting heart rate is 60 too, I have seen 3 cardioligists and they all say that my heart is healthy and fine. I am not an athlete and I could do with lossing a few kilos!!

I have been experiencing dizziness for about 4 weeks and I also have fatigue etc. I have had anxiety for 2 years now and my symptoms are tje normal. I have excepted that this is my anxiety and my heart is fine.

My cardioligists all said that you will pass out if you heart rate gets too low, I have never passed out. Also remember that there are a heap of people out there that live with a heart rate int he 40's and they are not athletes.

Check you heart rate when you feel good and then check it when you feel bad - I bet that it is the same both times.
