Do you know that your unusual heart beat is a symptoms of a disease named Arrhythmia
80
Everyone we know that our heart pumps 50 to 100 times in one minute. In our heart we have four chambers. Two in the superior and two in the inferior part. Their is a rhythm in pumping heart beats. A definite sequences works behind this rhythms. And following this sequences inferior chambers pumps carbonated blood to the lungs and oxygenated blood to the whole body. Anyhow if there any obstacle are seen in the sequences then problem arises in the body named Arrhythmia. According to Wikipedia "Arrhythmia is a term for any of a large and heterogeneous group of conditions in which there is abnormal electrical activity in the heart. The heart beat may be too fast or too slow, and may be regular or irregular."
What is arrhythmia?
The irregular rhythm of heart is called arrhythmia. And for this irregular rhythm or sequences heart beats becomes too low or too fast comparing to the normal heart beats as a result blood cannot reached properly to the different parts of the body which creates many complications. Most of the arrhythmia is temporary. And for this types of arrhythmia heart sometimes skips from it's natural beats or even creates an extra beat. In some cases this conditions can be happened from the mental pressures or lifestyles.

- Feels pain in the chest.
- Become less conscious.
Classifications of Arrhythmia:
Arrhythmia is classified into two types. They are as:
- Supra-ventricular arrhythmia
- Ventricular arrhythmia
Supra-ventricular and ventricular arrhythmia are identified by counting the speed of the heart beats. For this reason beats can be too fast or too slow. When the beats rate is too slow it is known as bradycardia. In this case beats in less than 60 in one minute. If the rate is too slow then it is known as tachycardia and it's beats is faster than 100 beats in resting periods in one minute.
Supra-ventricular arrhythmia: It causes in the area of the upper two chambers of the heart which is called Atrium. Generally when for a long time arrhythmia happened in hearts are known as atrial fibrillation. Normally hearts beats 50 - 100 in one minute but when atrial fibrillation caused then 400 - 600 beats in one minute. For these many diseases are seen in the body.
Symptoms Of bradycardia:
- Feels restless.
- Feels suffocated and can't breath.
- Can have headache pain.
- Also feels lightheaded.
- Dizziness.
Ventricular arrhythmia: It is seen in the lower chamber which is called ventricle. For the ventricular tachycardia the heart beats are faster than 100 times. It beats doesn't stopped until any medicine are given to the patient. This is a very dangerous steps of this disease. Because it is ventricular fibrillation which means it creates disorder in the electrical activity in the heart. And it collapse the functions of the heart which result death.
Symptoms Of tachycardia:
- For the unusual beats feels angina in the throats.
