An arrhythmia is an abnormal heart rhythm. There are many different irregular rhythms. Some arrhythmias are minor and some are life threatening. Many adults have irregular heartbeats once in a while that are not serious. You are more likely to have an arrhythmia if you are a smoker or are under stress, overworked, or fatigued; if you take certain illicit drugs, prescription or over-the-counter medications; or if you or a member of your family has a heart disease or disorder.

Symptoms may include:

  • Change in heart rate, either fast or slow
  • Dropped or missed beats
  • Shortness of breath
  • Sweating
  • Chest pain
  • Change in level of alertness; faintness, or weakness
