Oxygen Deprivation
When the body cannot get sufficient oxygen, it would slow down your heart rate and cause bradycardia. This condition is also known as hypoxia. In most cases, it is a medical emergency that needs immediate attention. You can suffer from this problem when having a serious asthma attack or after choking. Some chronic medical illnesses like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can also be a trigger. Treating the underlying cause is important to improve symptoms of bradycardia. [8]
