Arrhythmia can cause weakness and a feeling of the heart sinking or “tumbling” and can occur even in a healthy person. Alexandra Staroverova, cardiologist in the Fomina Clinic network, talked about this “Evening Moscow”.
Arrhythmia, that is, a violation of the heart rhythm, can be continuous or manifest itself in attacks from a few seconds to several days. It may cause a fast or slow heartbeat, a sinking or tumbling feeling in the heart, shortness of breath during exertion, weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting.
The doctor emphasized that arrhythmia can develop even in healthy people. Therefore, it is important to be examined by a cardiologist annually. And for older people or with other diseases – more often. The most accurate way to detect arrhythmia is through Holter ECG monitoring, which monitors heart function throughout the day.
