bajón en área cardíaca
Spanish to English
Medical
Medical (general)
history and physical exam
This is from outpatient chart notes that summarize a 26-year old man's symptoms and history:
"... refiere menos ansiedad ... cuando duerme a veces se despierta como que tiene un *bajón en área cardíaca" .... " There are several mentions of anxiety in the history, no exact diagnosis is given in the report.
How would you translate "bajón" here? It doesn't seem to be a clear, specific medical term. I find many translations -- dip, drop, fall, slump, letdown -- but nothing that looks like a definite symptom or sensation.
And I can't quite tell what country the report comes from ... possibly Ecuador.
Thanks for your help.

sharp drop in heart rate
Here I understand that "bajón" is a sharp drop (disminución brusca) , and I would translate it with "sharp drop in heart rate"....

cardiac / heart / chest plummeting sensation
I believe the term is referring to a sensation felt in the chest like when you are riding on a rollercoaster and all of a sudden you have a sinking sensation in the chest or heart area when the ride drops.

Reference:
En efecto, "bajón" es un término coloquial y en absoluto médico.
Un bajón de ánimo (feel depressed), un bajón de azúcar (hypoglycemia), un bajón de tensión (hypotension), etc...
Pero nunca había oído hablar de un "bajón en la zona cardíaca", y no sabría cómo explicarlo.

| Gracias Andrés por tu comentario. Por el momento he puesto "weakness in the heart area" ... pero sé que no es exacto. |

Can Anxiety Cause a SLOWER Heart Rate?
Almost everyone with anxiety has suffered from a rapid heartbeat at some point or another. A fast heart is an extremely common anxiety symptom, and one that – when severe – causes many people to worry about the health of their heart. One of the first steps towards treating anxiety is learning not to overreact to a rapid heartbeat because the stress of overreacting can create a further rapid heartbeat.
What many may not realize is anxiety can cause the heartbeat to slow down. It's not that common, but it is possible, and in some cases the issue may not be a slow heartbeat at all but how you're interpreting it.
