Cardiologist Yulia Fadyukhina named the symptoms by which one can recognize arrhythmia.
Arrhythmia or heart rhythm disturbance does not seem to many to be a dangerous pathology. But sometimes its attack can be fatal for a person, doctor Fadyukhina reported this in a comment to NEWS.ru.
“In rare cases, an attack of arrhythmia can be fatal – a person can die. Therefore, you should never ignore the feeling of interruptions or stoppages in the work of the heart,” the specialist said.
Speaking about other possible symptoms of arrhythmia, Yulia Fadyukhina listed the following manifestations:
- A feeling of pressure, discomfort behind the breastbone;
- A feeling of lack of air;
- Shortness of breath;
- Weakness;
- Fatigue that occurs quickly;
- Dizziness;
- Fainting.
The cardiologist added that there are cases when arrhythmia develops almost asymptomatically, and heart rhythm disturbances are discovered by chance (for example, when examining a patient due to other problems). The doctor emphasized that the condition of the heart should be checked despite the absence of complaints. It is especially important to conduct such preventive checks at regular intervals after 40 years.
Earlier, the MedikForum.ru portal wrote about why doctors consider stress to be one of the main enemies of the heart.
