Answers:
Do you think the doctor actually said "borderline sinus bradycardia.?"
I don't know how old your cousin and normal heart rate varies by age. If your cousin is an adult, the normal heart rate would be between 60-100 beats per minute. Any heart rate below 60 beats per minute (generally between 40 and 60 bpm) is termed "bradycardia". The term "Sinus" means that the electrical conduction in the heart is originating in the sinoatrial node. This is normal. If your cousin has borderline sinus bradycardia, it would mean the her heart is functioning normally but is just beating at a slightly slower rate (maybe 50-59 beats per minute) . Sinus bradycardia is a normal response in some individuals to relaxation, sleeping, and is also commonly seen in trained athletes. This is a normal finding in some individuals and this might just be normal for her.
If not, it could be caused by several factors including the following:
1.) a vasovagal reaction seen with pain, nausea, vomiting, fright, or sudden stressful situations
2.) sleep apnea syndrome
3.) decreased metabolic rate (with hypothyroidism, hypothermia, hyperkalemia);
4.) certain drugs like digitalis, calcium channel blockers, and beta blockers
Sinus bradycardia doesn't require any treatment unless your cousin is experiencing symptoms such as low blood pressure, sweating, chest pain, decreased urine output, or confusion. If she does have symptoms, a doctor can administer Atropine to try to correct the slow heart rate. If that were unsuccessful, a pacemaker may be required.
