Answer #1

if anything, it means you’re healthy. it means you’re heart doesn’t have to work very hard to get blood around you’re body

Answer #2

from wat the doc says its not healthy, they want my mom to get a pacemaker cuz her heart beats to slow

Answer #3

That’s a little low, for sure … the risks vary depending on whether her particular condition is a bradycardia or bradyarrhythmia, but heart attacks and stroke are listed as the highest risks.

Answer #4

Ah, you should have told us who had the 45BPM. If it’s you and you’re youngish and healthy, that could be just fine. If it’s mom, yup, it needs to be checked out, but before you get a pacemaker get a second opinion!
