Presentation
But in certain individuals AV blocks can present itself with the symptoms such as dizziness or tiredness as in your case. When the block is present through out the hear beat it can be continuos dizziness like in your case. [doctorspring.com]
Interpretation: Neither Mobitz I nor Mobitz II is present. [ahcmedia.com]
This rhythm is CYCLIC and will always present with progressively lengthen PR intervals until a QRS complex disappears and then it will repeat itself. [registerednursern.com]

MI), admission is indicated to a unit with telemetry monitoring and transcutaneous pacing capabilities Symptomatic patients should be treated with atropine and transcutaneous pacing immediately, followed by transvenous temporary pacing until further workup [emedicine.medscape.com]
Except for a first-degree heart block, the rest of the patients should be referred to a cardiologist for more definitive workup. Some of these patients may require a pacemaker which can be life-saving. [statpearls.com]

PR Interval

Prolonged PR Interval
First degree heart block consists of a prolonged PR interval of more than 200msec. Second degree heart block consists of Mobitz type I and Mobitz type II heart block. [wikidoc.org]

Rhythm

Sinus Arrest
Requiring similar P wave morphology when assessing an arrhythmia for AV block eliminates other potential causes of bradycardia such as wandering pacemaker, sinus pauses, and sinus arrest. [ahcmedia.com]
A third degree sinoatrial block looks very similar to a sinus arrest. However, a sinus arrest is caused by a failure to form impulses. A third degree block is caused by failure to conduct them. The rhythm is irregular and either normal or slow. [en.wikipedia.org]
Brief heart block summary Sinus arrest/block and sinoatrial exit block - Sinus node dysfunction, SA node misses one or more cycles. This missed cycle or pause may induce an escape response. [tamingthesru.com]
Arrest If the sinus node has a problem with impulse formation it is defined as a sinus arrest. [textbookofcardiology.org]

Treatment
Treatment of second-degree AV block Mobitz type 2 Management and treatment of AV block 1, 2 and 3 is discussed in a separate article. [ecgwaves.com]
That said — from a practical treatment perspective — distinguishing between Mobitz I and Mobitz II appears to be less important since a pacemaker may be needed in either case if the high-grade degree of AV block does not improve. [reliasmedia.com]
Prognosis
The prognosis is good, even in the elderly. Mobitz type 1 block generally does not progress to more advanced blocks. [ecgwaves.com]
Clinically — the importance of distinguishing AV Wenckebach (Mobitz I) from Mobitz II relates to the much better prognosis of Mobitz I, a generally better response to treatment with atropine, and a much lower likelihood of needing a pacemaker. [reliasmedia.com]
Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
