Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial Fibrillation is an irregular and often rapid heartbeat that causes poor blood flow which can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.
Those with atrial fibrillation may not experience any symptoms and are often unaware of their condition until it’s discovered during a routine physical exam. Those who have experienced symptoms reported to have felt weakness, fatigue, lightheadedness and dizziness, shortness of breath, inability to exercise and palpitations—all of which are sensations of a racing, uncomfortable and irregular heartbeat.
With atrial fibrillation, it’s important to live a heart-healthy lifestyle by eating a heart-healthy diet, maintaining physical activity, attaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol and caffeine and reducing stress. Medication may also be used to maintain a normal heart rhythm.
