Most people are really not aware of their Heart beating. For them it generally means they do not have an Arrhythmia (an irregular heartbeat) - the heart may beat too fast, too slowly, too early, or irregularly.
It is an irregular contraction of the heart muscle caused by a problem with the heart’s electrical system.
People call these skips, flips & blips as heart palpitations or Heart flutters. But if a fluttering heart is causing a change in your lifestyle, then you immediately make an appointment with your primary care physician or Heart specialist & get it checked.
It is accompanied by following symptoms
• Sudden weight gain
• Swollen legs
• Shortness of breath
• Exhaustion
Which can be a cause for Arrhythmia or any other Heart conditions including Congestive Heart Failure or a Pulmonary embolism which requires a immediate Medical attention.
Some other symptoms are:-
• Feeling dizzy or lightheaded
• Passing out (fainting) or nearly fainting
• Feeling tired, like you can’t walk as far as you used to
• Feeling ill, like you’re getting a cold or the flu
• Changes in your blood pressure
• Changes in heart rate; speeding up (racing heart) or slowing down
Causes of Arrhythmia
a. Medications – by taking the wrong dose, forgetting to take them.
b. Stress & anxiety
c. Dehydration
d. Illness
e. By stimulants like – caffeine, tobacco & alcohol .
Electrophysiologist Dr. Aniruddha Vyas simplified the understanding about the Arrhythmia’s on the Heart Talkshow India " Dil Se Dil Tak Healthy Heart "
If your heart skips a beat then the first thing you should do is make an appointment with your primary care physician. He or she can listen to your heart to determine if there is an irregular rhythm.
A diagnosis of an irregular or abnormal heart beat isn’t all bad news. The good news is that technological advances continue to provide new opportunities to treat this condition.
