An arrhythmia is a change of rhythm with your heartbeat. Your heart might beat to fast, to slow, or skip a beat. Most people experience arrhythmias at some point in their life but when it starts to happen often or is accompanied by other symptoms then it is recommended you see your doctor.
Causes
Some common causes for minor arrhythmias can be alcohol use, smoking, stress, caffeine and exercise. When heart disease is involved, arrhythmias can be more of a concern.Symptoms
Symptoms of arrhythmias include fast or slow heartbeat, lightheadedness, dizziness, your heart skipping beats, chest pain, shortness of breath, paleness, and sweating.Treatment
Depending on how severe your arrhythmia is, treatment may not be necessary. If treatment for your arrhythmia is required your doctor may give you medications or suggest a pacemaker. In some cases, surgery may be needed.Prevention
