Chirley,

Sometimes I feel that they see so much that not much phases them. And if what they are focused on doesn't match up with your concerns, sometimes they don't hear you. When John was having all kinds of issues, I would make sure he and I agreed on the top one or three things we wanted addressed at his appointments and made sure we told the nurse. And then repeated that with the doctor. Can you put a call in to your cardiologist? I don't know anything about low heart rate but I would imagine there's something out there to help.

You shouldn't have to work so hard to get their attention.

BTW....glad your electrolytes are back to normal.
