Before I ask my question I'll give you a heads up, I am contacting my doctor now about this but would like to get answers sooner than she will probably get back to me:)
I am just re starting recovery after a pretty significant relapse. My heart rate is significantly low around 40 bpm because of my Ed but recently today it has been pretty bad. I have been getting episodes of being shaky and almost wobbly after walking or exerting myself a little more. Is this ok, or to be expected for a bit since I am so low?

    Shakiness can be a symptom of low heart rate, as your brain and body simply may not be getting enough blood flow. Since you have recently suffered a significant relapse and are feeling wobbly after walking, there may be more at play than just a low heart rate. I'm not a doctor, but my advice would be to find someone to stay with you tonight in case you lose consciousness. If your condition worsens, you may consider a trip to urgent care or the emergency department.

    To answer your question, NO, this is probably not "ok" for you.

    Sounds like a trip to the ER is in order. Heart failure is fairly common among ED sufferers, is it not?

    Symptomatic bradycardia sounds like you should go to an er or urgent care.

    No this is not ok and no it should not be expected, because you obviously have done serious damage to your heart and overall health because of the ED..

    You are looking "for answers sooner than your doctor will get back to you" from unqualified strangers on the internet. "sigh"

    This is warranted that your doctor should meet you right away in the ER..

    If you have not already, you need to seek medical attention and have the nurses post your issue as STAT.

    Yes, if you can't see a doctor today, you should go the ER.

    As stated in your other thread on the same topic ....

    Cardiac issues are not something to consult an internet forum about. They are life threatening and require actual medical attention.
