Cardiologist Maria Delova recalled that arrhythmia can be pathological and named its symptoms, including chest pain and excessive fatigue.
Cardiologist Delova recalled that arrhythmia means abnormal heart contractions: they can be too frequent (tachycardia) or too rarefied (bradycardia).
“The most common among arrhythmias is atrial fibrillation,” the doctor noted in a comment to the St. Petersburg TV channel.
Delova added that the occurrence of arrhythmia usually indicates that a person has a chronic cardiovascular problem: it could be a congenital or acquired heart defect, hypertension, heart failure, coronary heart disease, or a previous heart attack. In addition, some problems in the functioning of the body can make the manifestation of arrhythmia more severe and strong (for example, pathologies of the thyroid gland contribute to this).
The cardiologist clarified that in some circumstances (increased load, exercise, situational anxiety), the appearance of arrhythmia is a normal process – it passes quickly enough without consequences, the heart rhythm returns to normal. The concern is caused by pathological arrhythmia, which occurs without any connection with external factors, at rest, at night. The doctor said that such arrhythmia can manifest itself as excessive fatigue:
“Excessive feeling of irregular heartbeat, sensation of chest pain; dizziness, which may lead to fainting; excessive fatigue, when the patient understands that he cannot continue physical activity, this should alert and force him to see a doctor.”
Earlier, the MedikForum.ru portal wrote that therapist Andrei Ryabkov listed non-obvious causes of headaches.
