Atrial fibrillation also known as AFib is a condition that happens when the heart beats irregularly. In most cases, you might feel fast or uneven heartbeats. While it is not often a fatal issue, atrial fibrillation would result in many serious complications such as heart disease or stroke if left untreated. To reduce the risk, you can identify this issue at home by examining the pulse and check whether it is irregular. In addition, notice the following 10 signs and inform your doctor for a precise diagnosis.
Dizziness
Dizziness or lightheadedness can be a common symptom in people with atrial fibrillation. This is because your heart is beating unusually, which leads to unstable blood flows to your brain. These signs could be scary and dangerous, but some treatments are available to deal with them. Make sure to visit your doctor as soon as possible to alleviate the condition and reduce the risks of further complications. When you feel dizzy or lightheaded, sit down or lie down immediately can provide temporary relief. [1]
