What are the signs of arrhythmia?

Arrhythmia refers to an irregular heartbeat and can manifest through various signs. Common symptoms include palpitations (the sensation of a racing or fluttering heart), dizziness, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort. Some people may also experience fainting or near-fainting episodes. Recognizing these symptoms early is crucial, as arrhythmias can sometimes lead to more serious complications, including stroke or heart failure. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to consult your GP promptly for assessment and possible treatment. Regular check-ups can help monitor your heart health and catch any irregularities early.
