Wow...that's very scary. My heart rate jumps around a lot...but in my case it usually gets very HIGH...not low. But then again...they've never taken my HR when I had a fainting episode...so who knows?

I am appalled at how useless your neuro was when you coded in his office. Sounds like my pain specialist when my heart rate was 162 in his office and I was in a lot of pain. He just looked at me and my boyfriend's mom and said he doesn't deal with things like elevated heart rate and if it was that bad I should go to the ER. SERIOUSLY?! My HR was high because of the elevated pain and my RSD...which are things he DOES treat...or so I thought anyway. That was my last appointment with him...I could not stand seeing a doctor who cared so little about my health when that's what his JOB is. UGH! I hope you get much better treatment in the future from your neuro (or that you switched).
