Hello @[st...] and welcome to Benzo Buddies!

I’m glad you’ve joined the forum, you’ll find a lot of good information here as well as support from those who understand the withdrawal process.

Indeed there are a lot of strange symptoms associated with benzo withdrawal. Heart issues can be one of them. I have heard a lot about palpitations and higher heart rates. A low heart rate could also be a withdrawal symptom. Since you have been bedridden it would likely be a good idea to get a check up just to rule our other causes of the low heart rate.

Are you reducing the Valium every two weeks? How much do you reduce each time? We generally suggest tapering no more than 5-10% every 10-14 days. 

For some of us withdrawal can be challenging, but it is doable with a sensible taper plan. Greetings from us as well, please let us know how we can help.
