Arrhythmias
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly, we speak of arrhythmias, and it is worth evaluating them to understand their origin and their significance for each person.
Arrhythmias are alterations in the heart rhythm that occur when the electrical signals that coordinate the heartbeats do not work as they should.
Common symptoms:
- Palpitations or a sensation of skipped beats.
- Dizziness, fatigue, or shortness of breath.
- In some cases, chest discomfort.
When to see a doctor? If palpitations are frequent, are accompanied by intense dizziness, fainting, or chest pain, it is worth seeking care promptly.
Which specialist treats them? The cardiologist is the one who studies the heart and its rhythm; the internist and the general practitioner can guide the initial evaluation. Discussing these symptoms with a professional helps to understand what causes them and to receive the appropriate follow-up.
