Slow heart beat and sinus arrhythmia?

1 Answer

So I went to the emergency room recently and had an EKG after I was experiencing some chest pain and a very low heart rate. My heart rate was at 41 beats a minute. I am not a world-class athlete, I am not in shape, and am overweight so I was concerned. The doctor told me I have sinus arrhythmia but had no answer for the chest pain I was experiencing and said it was just stress. He said there is no treatment for sinus arrhythmia which is fine, but I’m still concerned because I’m still having some chest pain and my heart rate is still really low. (He also said the low heart rate is fine.) Does anyone have insight to what could be going on?
