    My wife took me to the hospital. While in the ER I repeated the above process. My heart rate droped to 34 and my blood pressure bottomed out.

    So yesterday I spent the day in nuclear medicine and had a stress test done. I also spent two nights of being woke up every hour or so to get stuck with a needle. The results were my heart was fine...No sign of any blockage or heart damage.

    I'll prolly have some more tests done next week...I really need to know what caused all this.

    Wish me luck.

    You taking any meds?

    Your drop in heart rate is not giving your brain enough blood/oxygen, and it shuts down, you faint.
