Irregular heartbeats, also known as arrhythmias, are conditions in which the heart beats in an abnormal rhythm. This can range from occasional skipped beats to more serious conditions such as rapid or slow heartbeats.

Some arrhythmias are benign and do not cause any significant health problems, while others can lead to serious complications such as fainting, heart failure, and even sudden cardiac death.

Common causes of arrhythmias include underlying heart disease, high blood pressure, stress, and certain medications. Irregular heartbeats can often be detected through routine check-ups and heart rate monitoring.

Treatment for arrhythmias may involve lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress and improving diet, or medical interventions such as medication or surgery, depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition.
