Is my abnormal heart rhythm dangerous?

In this video, i tell you about those features which make an abnormal heart rhythm dangerous. The first is 1) How sustained the heart rhythm is 2) How fast the disturbance is 3) Is it atrial or ventricular 4) Is it on the background of an already damaged heart?

[@TheAiion]

Periodically, for a few days to a couple weeks, my heart will skip beats. It feels like it is flip flopping and my pulse matches what I am feeling in my chest. Sometimes there are twinges of pain, sometimes no pain. Then I can go months with no palpitations. Occasionally, I will get a fast heart beat for about 10 seconds and then it goes back to normal. Recently, I was exerting myself and my chest was pounding and skipping lots of beats for a few minutes. No physical symptoms like dizziness. My resting heart rate drops below 60 sometimes. I am active. In the low 50's when I sleep. @@0xArkemi

That was all the assurance I got that I wouldn't drop dead from my newly - manifested heart concerns. People with "mild" cardiac issues should be shown this video. It helps a person with no medical background feel more at ease, and less like they're walking around with a ticking time bomb that could go off - or stop! - at any moment. Thank you!

Shit man. I have MVP, Both Mitral and Tricupidal regurgitations which causes chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness and anxiety and depression.

As an example, I was at the office of my cardiologist today for an appointment where I had just completed an EKG five minutes before he came in to talk to me. When he looked at the EKG and listened to my heart he informed me that I was currently in a state of Atrial Fibrillation. I had no idea that this was going on at the moment and told him that I felt fine and didn't feel that anything was amiss. Not all heart problems cause angina (chest pain), weakness, tiredness, or shortness of breadth.

[@sanobermalhotra6307]

Folks, I went through the same problem once. Terrified my heart was going to burst when it beat over 200 times a minute. I went through a procedure called radio frequency ablation where they use radio frequency to destroy part of the heart tissues causing my tachycardia. It is a less than 30 mts. procedure where they insert a catheter into your heart and ablated the heart tissues causing the problem. Except for a sharp burning pain for a few seconds on impact, it was totally pain free. I was awake the whole time and watched the proceedings on the monitor. Ever since then did not have a single episode of tachycardia. It has been over 20 years now and I am absolutely fine. So Good Luck to all my fellow sufferers. Get well soon.

mine is skipping beats as well every now and then but been more frequent i guess because of stress, i have done EKG's their are normal, i have done Echocardio-diagrams and my heart in right size even, blood work and they all are normal but i get skipped beats and im only 21, and an athelte its crazy , scares me so imma just see cardiologist tomorrow to rest my mind

[@sofiapaulsdotterhenriksson6381]

Same here. I had an EKG taken and my doctor told me that I have what is called "double beats" and he told me that it isn't dangerous and it's also normal and rather common. And these extra double beats also are a sign and proof of that the heart is functioning just well and normally. The "double beats" and what seems to be "skips" of heart beats are because of IF the Sinus knot fails in giving that electrical impulse for the heart muscles to contract as it shall, there are a several other cells in the heart (ventricel) that also can give the heart electrical impulses to contract and that steps in and substitute for the Sinus Knot and will give the heart that lacking electrical impulse instead of the Sinus Knot. Then the heart will beat extra between 2 normal heart beats. And after that it will take a little longer time until the next heartbeat will occur. And that is why it seems and sounds like the heart skips a beat. And, yes it occurs more often when we experience and are under stress, anxiety etcétera. So, most people can calm down and not worry!

[@sanobermalhotra6307]

I used to have episodes of tachycardia/ abnormal heart rhythm. Initially, I was put on blood pressure tablets but when the episodes became more frequent and longer in duration I was advised a procedure called radio frequency ablation. In layman's terms it means that I had a short circuit in the electrical pathway in my heart. This was the cause of my arrhythmia. They needed to use radio frequency energy, something like we have in microwaves to destroy a part of the heart tissues causing my arrhythmia. They put a catheter from my leg into my heart and ablated the tissues. It was a simple 30 minutes procedure. I was alert throughout and watched the procedure on the screen. The only pain I felt was when they actually burnt the tissues. The pain was bad but thankfully for just a few seconds and then gone, completely. That was all. I have had not a single episode of arrhythmia ever since. My heart is absolutely fine. This was over 20 years back! Today with more research and advanced technology there is no need to fear heart problems.
