i think i have a slow heart rate, but a doctor has never told me that. i have had vasovagal syncope for 11 years and i have been getting heartaches and headaches more often recently. i dont know what i should do or if any of these problems are linked
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Headache and cardiac chest pain (heartache) can be seen together in hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmia and other heart diseases. So better to consult cardiologist and get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring 2. ECG 3. 2d echo 4. Stress test (trade mill test) 5. Holder monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ECG) 6. Coronary angiography (if required). You may need cardiac supportive Chat Doctor.  If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
