Confused No Answers from Cardiologists after hospital stay...

Went to the ER on Wednesday afternoon after experiencing tingling and sudden feelings like I was going to faint from Tuesday evening into Wednesday. They admitted me overnight, and watched my pulse go down to 41 bpm...
They blamed several meds I am on, including Copaxone, for the drop in pulse...but I've been on all of the meds for a long time...the latest drug Rxd was almost a year ago.
They took me off of that drug, and told me to see the neuro pronto. They gave me a list of at least 5 meds that could cause this.
They released me with no real answer as to why this occured. I also lost 5 lbs in 2 days I voided like crazy. It scared me, because when my late sis would go into the hospital for her heart, she would lose 30 lbs of water weight.
The cardio docs went over all of the tests/procedures I had done last September when I had chest pains, and feel that my circulation is fine, that it might be electrical...but then backed off of that and blamed the meds.

I have an appt with my pcp and neuro next week before we take off for Hawaii. Such fun...
