ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS?
September 1, 2023 ⚊ 1 Min read ⚊ Views 56 ⚊ BLOG
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of heart arrhythmia, affecting over 3 million people in the United States. This irregular and often rapid heart rate originates in the atria or upper chambers of the heart. When the atria quiver rather than contracting fully, the heart’s electrical signals become chaotic and ineffective at pumping blood properly. Though not always symptomatic, many people with atrial fibrillation experience palpitations, chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, and other debilitating symptoms.
