Shortness of Breath
Dyspnea or shortness of breath can be a symptom of bradycardia. It occurs when the heart does not pump enough blood to your lungs and other parts of the respiratory system. You can feel breathless as if you are not getting enough air. It would be followed by a panic, suffocating feeling, or chest tightness. Many people find this a very frightening sign. Thus, it is important to see a healthcare provider for a diagnosis. In worse cases, the lack of oxygen can affect other important organs, especially the brain. [4]
