LOW PULSE RATE WITH DIZZINESS

[bettychb]

MY SON IN LAW IS 32 YEARS OLD, PLAYS SOCCER EVERY WEEK, AND WORKS OUTDOORS AS A LANDSCAPING CONTRACTOR SO HE IS PHYSICALLY FIT. A FEW DAYS AGO HE WAS DIZZY, NAUSEOUS AND FAINTY AND ENDED UP IN HOSPITAL WHERE HIS PULSE RATE WAS  IN THE RANGE OF 30 TO 40.  
ALL HIS TEST CAME BACK NEGATIVE. WHAT COULD BE WRONG WITH HIM

Thanks , no he does not take beta blocker.

Thanks, he has since been discharged. The upsetting thing is the doctors at the hospital told him he'll be fine, but when he asked for his medical records only then does the doctor come back to his room to say the left side of his heart is swollen. He does not bring in a cardiologist to review his case nor does he refer him to one either, he discharged him and tell him he'll be fine. What do you make of that?

does he take any med with beta blocker? tht also could be the problem

He needs further testing.  This is not normal, and I would not stop until I had an answer.  Something caused this, is he following up with his doctor?  That is an extremely low, serious pulse rate.  He may have been severely de-hydrated, which is dangerous and can cause these symptoms, but the ER would have recognized this and told the family.  I would tell him to see his doctor and get an explanation of all that could have caused this, and start ruling them out, one by one.
