Effect on the heart
Hi,
I've had a high ferritin of greater than 5000 which is now down to less than 1000.
Over the last 6 months or so I've been getting a slow heartbeat. Today in daycare my pulse was 41 at it's lowest but hovered between 41 and 49 at it's highest. I told my doctor when he came to see me and he felt my pulse and said he thought it was higher than that, made no further comment and seemed to dismiss it. It has not been over 50 all week.
Has anyone else had this problem? Do you know if damage from high cardiac iron can cause bradycardia and finally, am I right to be concerned?
Regards
Chirley
