Why heart rate becomes irregular? - #12402
I am really worried about something I've been experiencing lately. My heart rate has been super irregular. Like, sometimes it's racing, and other times it just feels all over the place? I thought it might just be stress because I've been juggling work and family stuff, but then I started feeling kinda dizzy and out of breath too. I went to my doc, and they did an EKG, which showed that my heart rate can really jump from fast to slow. It's freaky! I keep asking myself, why heart rate becomes irregular? Is it really just stress, or could there be something deeper? I've tried changing my diet and even started exercising more, but the irregularity is still there. It's especially noticeable during the night when I'm trying to relax, and my heart feels like it’s racing! I can't help but wonder if this is serious. Why heart rate becomes irregular for some and not others? Would love to hear from anyone who's gone through something similar. Do you think I should ask for more tests, or is it normal for these things to happen sometimes? Thanks for reading!
