4. Heart Arrhythmias
An arrhythmia is an abnormal heartbeat. To many, it feels like butterflies in the chest. Arrhythmias occur when the electrical impulses that coordinate heartbeats don't work properly, causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow or irregularly, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms of an arrhythmia can include a racing or slow heartbeat, a fluttering feeling in the chest, chest pain, shortness of breath, a light-headed or dizzy feeling, and fainting. If an arrhythmia is suspected, make an appointment to see the doctor immediately. A doctor will order tests to detect the nature of the problem. Don’t put this off. Cardiac issues are never something to take lightly.
