Arrhythmia or rapid heartbeat should not be taken lightly.
Arrhythmia refers to a condition where the heart beats too fast or too slow than normal. It can result from abnormalities in the generation of cardiac electrical impulses, the conduction of those impulses, or both. If present, it is important to seek prompt medical treatment, as it not only interferes with quality of life but can also lead to severe consequences ranging from paralysis to death.
