Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is a common type of arrhythmia where the upper chambers of the heart (atria) beat irregularly and chaotically, affecting how blood flows through the heart. 🫀 In AFib, electrical signals become disorganized, causing a fast and irregular heartbeat—sometimes over 100–175 beats per minute. 🔍 What causes AFib? High blood pressure Coronary artery disease Heart valve problems Thyroid issues Excessive alcohol or stress Advancing age 📉 Common Symptoms: Irregular, rapid heartbeat Palpitations (fluttering or pounding) Shortness of breath Dizziness or lightheadedness Fatigue Chest discomfort ⚠️ Why it matters: AFib increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. 🩺 Diagnosis & Treatment: ECG or Holter monitor Medications to control rate or rhythm Anticoagulants (to prevent clots) Cardioversion or ablation procedures ❤️ Regular monitoring and treatment help you live a full, active life with AFib.
