What are the symptoms of an arrhythmia?

An arrhythmia may be “silent” and not cause any symptoms. A doctor can find an irregular heartbeat during an examination by taking your pulse, listening to your heart or performing diagnostic tests. If symptoms occur, they may include:

• ++Palpitations++: A feeling of skipped heartbeat or that your heart is “running away,” fluttering or doing "flip-flops.”
• Pounding in your chest.
• Dizziness or feeling lightheaded.
• Shortness of breath.
• Chest discomfort.
• Weakness or fatigue (feeling very tired).
• Weakening of the heart muscle or low ejection fraction.
