is my irregular heart rate dangerous?!
Question:
Answers:
Hi, Claude - Hopefully I can clarify some of the misconceptions on here. Under ordinary circumstances, when a person is at rest, there is very little variation in the time interval from one heartbeat to the next. Sometimes, the heart rate can become somewhat irregular. There are several reasons why this can happen including premature beats (which are almost always very benign), heart block (sometimes benign, sometimes more problematic), and atrial fibrillation (which can put patients at risk for strokes). As you can see, it is impossible to say whether your irregular heart rate is dangerous without knowing which of these arrhythmias you may be having. The way to make the diagnosis is to check an EKG or, if your symptoms come and go, have you wear a Holter monitor or event monitor to capture these episodes. I recommend that you see your doctor about this so that he/she can tell you whether the irregular heart rate needs to be addressed. Good luck!

ANY kind of heart problem should always be referred to your Doctor. There are to many kinds of disease's out there now. DO NOT take any chances.
"An irregular heart rate or arrhythmia, is an abnormality in the heart's rhythm, or heartbeat pattern. The heartbeat can be too slow, too fast, have extra beats, skip a beat, or otherwise beat irregularly. More than four million Americans have arrhythmias, most of which are harmless. Middle-aged adults commonly experience arrhythmias. As people age, the probability of experiencing an arrhythmia increases. Arrhythmias often occur in people who do not have heart disease. In people with heart disease, it is usually the heart disease which is dangerous, not the arrhythmia. Arrhythmias often occur during and after heart attacks. Some types of arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia, are serious and even life threatening. In the United States, arrhythmias are the primary cause of sudden cardiac death, accounting for more than 350,000 deaths each year."
The best advice would be for you to check this out with your doctor. Whether or not it is dangerous depends on what is causing it and whether it is a bradycardic arrhythmia or tachycardia arrhythmia. For instance, ventricular tachycardia can be very serious.

That really depends on any symptoms you might have. I have a slightly irrigular heartbeat but because i suffer no symptoms (shortness of breath, cheast pains etc) they decided not to treat it and just have it monitored by my family doctor. It can be dangerous, yes. I would recommend a doctor visit. They will do various tests, I got one where they put radio active dye in your blood stream and watched my heart beat, it was very cool. Do a search for cardiac arrhythmia.

GO SEE AN ELECTROPHYSIOLOGIS YOU MAY NEED MEDS OR EP STUDIES !!
Go to a doctor. I bet you are just fine
It depends.Usually those arrhythmia which originate in the top chamber of the heart are not.The ones that originate in the lower chambers can be lethal.There is medication to control these conditions.
