Last night I started getting extremely fatigued and had a migraine. My heart rate was 56 beats per minute and after lying down and propping my feet up it was 53. When I woke up this morning I was swollen and ended up with a bad case of diarrhea. Are any of these symptoms related or something I should see a doctor about? My heart resting heart rate is back in the 60’s today but I am still tired.

Did you take any medications for your migraine? Do you have any other conditions that you take medication for?

I would see your doctor about the drop in heart rate. I would recommend a test to check the coagulation of your blood. When was your last one?

The migraine may have been secondary in the drop in heart rate when the body constricts blood vessels to increase resistance and keep up the blood pressure. But, it could also be the cause of the drop heart rate because it will drop when people are in pain while the blood pressure increases. Dehydration is usually seen in a increase of HR and drop of blood pressure.

The diarrhea is normal once the heart rate goes back up. The GI tract is the last to get a blood supply during an event like this and once the supply gets replenished it will become overactive.

People with your condition (about 40%) will be anemic which can cause the symptoms you have mentioned. Another reason for a blood test. Its best to always keep your doctor informed of these types of issues for the best treatment.

Hope this helps!
