I d like to know if ChatDoctor Diet can cause slow heart rate (50-54 beats a minutes) and low blood pressure (118/72). I am 31 years old. 5 6 tall. weight is 187lbs. I have also been battling an infected tooth. Not sure which is causing me to be fatigued/shortness of breath. Otherwise I ve been very healthy. Dentist has me on Keflex since yesterday.
Hi, No, your diet does not affect your heart rate. Viral and some bacterial infections can cause a slow heart rate. As you have shortness of breath on exertion, I will suggest you have a 2D echo and ECG done to rule out any possible cardiac involvement. I hope botChatDoctores out normal. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
