I wanted to come on and talk about the most popular which is atrial fib or AIB. There are other conditions that can cause an irregular rhythm or your heart, but AIB is the most common and it's one of the most widely diagnosed. and I hope that you're maintaining a normal sinus rhythm and that you don't have any issues.
However, symptomatic atrial fibrillation or undiagnosed atrial fibrillation can be a true medical emergency. Basically, what it means instead of your heartbeat being a normal up and down and consistent, your heart's kind of going like this and you'll feel a flutter in your chest and it'll feel like it's beating rapidly.
Symptomatic could be nausea, dizziness, sweating. You could lose consciousness. This is a true medical emergency and you actually need to call 911. If it's something that just happened but no other symptoms, call your doctor right away. Call your cardiologist.
If you don't have a cardiologist, we can help you get one. This is not something you want to let go. It's a condition that can be treated. There's surgical and non-surgical options as far as treatment goes, depending on how you respond. It really does need to be watched, monitored, tested, and treated.
