What should I know about self-care with an arrhythmia?

If you have an arrhythmia, or even if you don’t, you might find it useful to know how to take your pulse. Your pulse indicates your heart rate or the number of times your heart beats in one minute. Pulse rates vary from person to person. Your pulse is slower when you are at rest and increases when you exercise since more oxygen-rich blood is needed by the body during exercise.
