If a medication or a medical condition is the cause of constipation, eliminating the offending medication or treating the underlying medical condition may relieve the constipation. However, certain conditions require the use of a medication despite its side effects.
Your heartbeat can be either tachycardic or bradycardic during a heart attack, so no i don't believe you had have a normal pulse rate at the time of a heart attack, normal being around 60-70 beats per minute for an adult. Heart rate does decrease though with age but that doesn't necessarily indicate anything is amiss.
What exactly is a heart attack? Most heart attacks happen when a clot in the coronary artery blocks the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. Often this leads to an irregular heartbeat-called an arrhythmia-that causes a severe decrease in the pumping function of the heart.
