Sinus bradycardia

When I got out of the sea the other day I had about 10 secs feeling that I was loosing awareness (like someone who is having a stroke and lots of consciousness or memory appears missing) then everything returned to normal. I went to Drs. and he put me in for an ECG. The nurse said she has to report the results to to Dr. as the result showed that Sinus Bradycardia was indicating some abnormality. Has anyone experienced this result. I would like to be better informed before my next appointment. I have my own Blood pressure monitor but that is not indicating any problems at the moment. Thanks.

Thanks LLass. Well, it turned out that an ECG showed some signs (Q wave activity) of a previous heart attack and is with the specialist to see if there is any need for further investigation. I remember now when I awoke in the early hours some time back with all-round chest ache which lasted a few seconds but I put that down to trouble I was having with statins. Since then tests have been inconclusive. So waiting on that and no conclusion on the incident on the beach - just a possible feint!

I do now have pains in the arms if I stretch them too far (and a raised heart rate seems to accentuate that) and I wonder if this is a related problem. If I am not careful the pain can ramp up to extreme.
