Arrhythmia and Palpitation
Many people are often worried about a heart attack if they have an arrhythmia. Many arrhythmias have nothing to do with heart disease. However, some are associated with myocardial infarction. Especially, those who have had a mild myocardial infarction in the past should be careful. The word “palpitations” [10] refers to a heartbeat that is irregular and rapid. The majority of palpitations are benign and may be due to anxiety, dehydration or caffeine intake. Palpitations (heart pounding) is also one of the symptoms of concern. Most palpitations are neurological and have nothing to do with heart disease. However, be careful if you feel pain or heaviness around your chest and in cases where your palpitation does not subside easily, such as when you climb stairs or exercise a little. Arrhythmias and palpitation make people uneasy. Anxiety can be stressful and can be a risk of a heart attack, so it’s safer to have a proper test. When you have them, it’s important to remember how your palpitations feel, how often they happen, and what you’re doing. For instance, if you’re resting, like watching TV, and your heart unexpectedly begins to beat irregularly or quickly, bring it to the attention of your doctor.
