Arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat. Sometimes there are no symptoms, but the ones to look for are a feeling that you heart is pounding or fluttering, shortness of breath, feeling faint, feeling tired or feeling dizzy. There could also be a general discomfort in your chest. Any of these are cause for a visit to the doctor.

Some arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats, do not cause symptoms but when they do, look for the feeling of your heart pounding or fluttering, being short of breath, fainting spells, fatigue or always being tired even with enough sleep, or a feeling of discomfort in your chest. You may also feel dizzy or lightheaded.

Some people with heart arrhythmias don't even experience physical symptoms. Those who do report a "pounding" or rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, muscle pain, or nausea. Detection of an arrhythmia is most commonly done through an electrocardiogram. Some blood tests for cardiac enzymes can also indicate more serious arrhythmia troubles, such as a myocardial infarction.
