Fatigue is a common symptom of heart disease and can be caused by the heart not pumping enough blood to meet the body's demands. This can lead to less blood flow to the limbs and muscles, resulting in fatigue. Additionally, medications like beta-blockers, which are often prescribed for heart disease, can contribute to fatigue and a condition known as "beta-blocker fog."

If you are experiencing a low heart rate (bradycardia) along with fatigue, it is important to consult your healthcare provider. They can help determine the cause and appropriate management strategies. Here are some key points:

- Fatigue in Heart Disease: Often due to the heart's inability to pump sufficient blood.
- Beta-Blockers: Can cause fatigue and cognitive issues.
- Consult Healthcare Provider: Essential for personalized management and treatment.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the article "Fatigue and Heart Disease" on MyHeartDiseaseTeam.
