Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat is irregular—too fast, too slow, or uneven. It happens due to problems in the heart’s electrical conduction system. 🫀 A normal heart beats in a steady rhythm. With arrhythmia, that rhythm is disrupted, which can affect how well your heart pumps blood. 🔍 Types of Arrhythmia: Tachycardia: Too fast Bradycardia: Too slow Atrial Fibrillation: Irregular upper chamber rhythm Ventricular Fibrillation: Dangerous, chaotic rhythm in lower chambers 📉 Symptoms may include: Fluttering or racing heartbeat Dizziness or lightheadedness Chest discomfort Fatigue Shortness of breath Fainting (in severe cases) 🩺 Causes & Risk Factors: High blood pressure Heart disease Electrolyte imbalance Overuse of alcohol or caffeine Stress or anxiety Certain medications 💊 Diagnosis & Treatment: ECG, Holter monitor, or stress test Medications, pacemaker, or ablation procedure if needed ❤️ Not all arrhythmias are dangerous—but some can be life-threatening. Regular checkups matter!
