A decreased heart rate, or bradycardia, is another symptom that can arise in adrenal insufficiency. The heart might not beat as quickly as it should, leading to concerns and potential complications.
This decrease in heart rate can lead to feelings of weakness or fatigue, as the body struggles to pump enough blood to meet its needs. For some, this might also result in dizziness or fainting, particularly when standing up from a sitting or lying position.
Managing a decreased heart rate involves addressing the adrenal insufficiency and any potential complications. It might involve medication, lifestyle changes, or other interventions. With the right care, it’s possible to manage this symptom and maintain heart health. (9)
