ARRYTHMIA (Irregular Heartbeat)
  Also known as tachycardia (fast beating heart), arrythmia (abnormal heart beat), bradycardia (excessive slowing of the heart beat), palpitations (symptoms experienced by a racing or irregular heart beat).

Occasionally people become aware of their heart beating which may be a rapid, excessively slow, irregular or “skipped” beat. Not all these sensations are associated with heart disease. Other symptoms which may accompany palpitations are dizziness, light-headedness or a feeling of fainting.

Some abnormal rhythms are self-limiting and mild, whereas others are serious and potentially life threatening. Palpitations, especially when associated with other symptoms, should be checked by a doctor.
