What is Arrhythmia?

Arrhythmia is an abnormal heartbeat or irregular heartbeat that can cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or unevenly. It can cause a variety of symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, chest pain, and fatigue.

What Does an Arrhythmia Feel Like?

The way an arrhythmia feels can vary from person to person. Some people may not feel any symptoms at all, while others may experience symptoms that range from mild to severe. Common symptoms of an arrhythmia include palpitations (a feeling of skipped heartbeats, fluttering, or pounding), chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, and fatigue. It is important to note that not everyone experiences the same symptoms and that the severity of symptoms can vary. It is also important to talk to your doctor if you think you may have an arrhythmia.

Can an Arrhythmia be Dangerous?

Arrhythmias can range from harmless to potentially life-threatening. Certain types of arrhythmias can lead to stroke, heart failure, or sudden cardiac arrest. It is important to talk to your doctor if you are experiencing any symptoms of an arrhythmia so that they can monitor your condition and determine the best course of treatment.
