  2. “My heart skipped a beat” is the saying we often say when we are excited or nervous. Well, an irregular heartbeat is much more common than you think. Arrhythmia is the word for an irregular heartbeat. Often arrhythmia is considered harmless. However, if you feel a constant irregular heartbeat, then you should consult a doctor who would diagnose you if you need irregular heartbeat treatment. Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is the most common kind of irregular heartbeat. It occurs when the heart beats too early causing a more energetic second beat, resulting in fluttering or pounding sensation in the chest. Most of the people experience this at least once in a day, while many don’t even notice it. Temporary arrhythmia can be caused due to stress, alcohol and caffeine though there are factors that can cause permanent arrhythmia too. Let us see the list of temporary and permanent arrhythmia: © Pranayam Lung & Heart Institute | All rights reserved.

  4. It is advisable to make notes when you experience irregular heartbeats and share the information with a heart consultant. Heart surgery Heart surgery is a life-saving operation that removes clots to get your life back. But, the operating heart can change the way the heart works, which includes the rate at which heartbeats. Doctors often monitor your heart after heart surgery as it can increase the risk of arrhythmia. Fluctuations in your heart muscle When one experiences a heart attack, they also risk cardiomyopathy or an abnormality of the heart. In cardiomyopathy, the heart may swell and make it difficult to pump blood. This can also cause arrhythmia. Coronary artery diseases Arteries are the path for oxygen and nutrients. Fat, cholesterol and calcium can build plaques in the arteries, which may lead to coronary artery disease. These plaques make it difficult for blood to flow and can strain the heart from smooth functioning. © Pranayam Lung & Heart Institute | All rights reserved.

  5. When to see a doctor? It is challenging for people to recognise if an irregular heartbeat is a sign of something serious. Consult your doctor who can help you figure out certain types of arrhythmia and monitor your heart. Types of arrhythmia like atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation that can lead to cardiac arrest and heart attack. Run for emergency medical attention if you face dizziness, shortness of breath and pain in the chest also if you notice insensitivity on one side of your body, facial drooping, confusion, muscular weakness, etc. which can be signs of a stroke. Consulting a doctor who is specialised with cardiac issues, can profoundly suggest you irregular heartbeat treatment, like Pranayam Lung and Heart Institute. © Pranayam Lung & Heart Institute | All rights reserved.

  6. What should be the frequency of heart checkup? Generally, for people who are above the age group 20 years should go for heart screening. According to the American Heart Association, if a person has average blood pressure less than 120/80mmHg, then one should be screened for cardiovascular abnormalities every 2 years. Adding to which, for low-risk patients cholesterol levels should be analysed every 4 to 6 years and blood glucose level every 3 years. Once you have identified, you need to work on your risk factors to cope up with your health condition. Lifestyle changes - Changing lifestyle from a lazy one to incorporating physical exercises in your routine alleviates the risk of physical and mental ailments. Maintaining a good lifestyle is highly recommended for all people who have developed risk factors for cardiac diseases. © Pranayam Lung & Heart Institute | All rights reserved.

  7. Exercise - Exercise works on your physical and mental wellbeing. It prepares you for day to day tasks, builds stamina and improves the functioning of the heart. It would be best if you got your cardiac screening done regularly, according to your risk factors, to identify any abnormality at time. © Pranayam Lung & Heart Institute | All rights reserved.

  8. Things to Keep in Mind to Prevent Heart Diseases: Obesity is connected to various diseases in the body. It mainly increases cardiovascular issues. There are some of the ways to check whether you have a risk of heart disease. Firstly, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference can be checked. If your BMI is higher than 30 and waist circumference higher than 35 in women whereas for men if the waist circumference is 40 or higher for men, then it raises the level of heart disease. A healthy diet will help to maintain weight, lowering cholesterol, heart diseases and lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. Have enough fruits and vegetables; meat lovers should opt for lean meat or fish, have beans and pulses as they are good sources of protein, and refined oil can be replaced with olive oil. © Pranayam Lung & Heart Institute | All rights reserved.

  9. It is necessary to have 7-9 hours of sound sleep as sleep manages stress-reducing your heart diseases. Lack of sleep can cause high blood pressure, obesity and risk of a heart attack. Snoring or sleep apnea causes destruction in the airway, which can be severe, which can be treated at Pranayam hospital, one of the best hospitals in Baroda.
