When should I contact my healthcare provider if I have an arrhythmia?

You’ll need to visit your doctor for regular follow-up visits to:

• Make sure your arrhythmia is controlled.
• Properly adjust your medications.
• Evaluate the function of any implanted devices.
• Make sure you’re staying healthy and not having other medical problems.

Your provider will tell you how often you should visit. Call your doctor in between visits if your symptoms become more frequent or severe.

You should also make sure that your family and friends know how to recognize your symptoms. They should also learn how to start CPR if that ever becomes necessary.
