Hey hb, I used to get low grade temps also. I also used to think it was pre-menapausal. HA! I even had my hormone levels checked but they were fine. Now I have learned it was most likely from mast cells. I do not know if I still have low grade fevers or not because I got tired of checking it every time I got warmed up.
As for your low Heart Rate (HR), first I would double check with the doctor that did the halter tests on you. Let him know that you have a new symptom. Prior to seeing him/her I would start keeping a journal/record of your Blood Pressure (BP) and HR to take to the doctor. I did this with mine. He said he had never had anyone come in with a journal of date/time/bp, hr/symptoms before, but he liked it and asked me to keep up with it. He asks me for it everytime I see him
Before I go on, just keep in mind that we are all different and I think your first priority should be to discuss this with your doctor. Moving on now with my personal thoughts. I was freaked out when my heart started going HIGH and then LOW. Freaking out probably didn't help matters
What I have learned about my issue is when my bp goes low I'm generally reacting or should we say my mast cells are having a party! I usually have a few other symptoms (these symptoms change from episode to episode). For example: I may feel palpitations and take my bp/hr only to find it's lower then my norm. Sometimes it's not palpatations but my lips and cheeks on my face start tingling. Other times it may be that I get naucious. See what I'm saying. It's not consistant. Then there's the times I feel the other symptoms but my bp/hr is normal. We won't go into that.
If my bp/hr are low but I feel ok otherwise, I simply stay seated or lay down for a bit. I remain calm and try to relax. Usually within 15-20 min. it goes back up to normal. If I have other symptoms that accompany the low bp/hr (light headed, tingly, naucious, etc) I take a dose of benedryl. I get sleepy but eventually my bp/hr goes back to normal and the other symptoms disappear as well.
This is just my personal experience and may or may not work for you. I do hope that you are able to find SOMETHING that will work. Just, please, be sure to address it with your doctor.
