Arrhythmia Symptoms
Arrhythmia, commonly referred to as an irregular heartbeat, is a condition in which the heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or in an irregular pattern. Common symptoms of arrhythmia include palpitations, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, chest pain, lightheadedness, dizziness, and fatigue.
Can Arrhythmia Disappear Spontaneously?
In some cases, arrhythmias can be transient or intermittent and may disappear spontaneously. This is most likely to occur in individuals with a relatively normal heart structure. For individuals with structural heart disease, such as cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia may be more persistent and require medical treatment.
What Causes Arrhythmia?
Arrhythmia can be caused by a variety of conditions, including heart disease, electrolyte imbalances, medication side effects, and other medical conditions. In some cases, the cause of an arrhythmia may be unknown.
Treatment of Arrhythmia
In many cases, arrhythmias can be successfully treated with medications, lifestyle modifications, or surgical procedures. Treatment options depend on the type and severity of the arrhythmia, as well as the underlying cause. In some cases, no treatment may be necessary.
