I had an attack of a very low heart pulse, my heart was slowly pounding and hands and feets were cold, extremely uncomfortable. A doctor was called and now I have to see a cardiologist.
I know a low resting pulse is associated with people exercising hard but i’m only exercising normally. My pdoc thinks it’s a side effect from the medication.
I’ve had the opposite tachycardia on regular doses of clozapine.
Mine was 120 at rest for years. Not healthy!
When I was at my fittest many years ago, my RHR was in the low 50’s. Now it’s in the high 80’s/low 90’s.
I also had tachycardia on clozapine. When I came off of it I experienced a heart rate in the 40s-50s and had the cold hands and feet…it was thought to relate to the cholinergic rebound of withdrawal. Now my resting rate is the high 50s-60s and the cardiologist gave me the all clear. The QTc prolongation also seems to have resolved (so far, anyway, I’ve only been off the clozapine since March 12).
Same with me rhr at 50 to 55. now if I don’t take my heart med it’s 99 to106.
