Irregular Heartbeat
Another common symptom of ischemic heart disease is an abnormal heartbeat. This condition is also medically known as arrhythmia. You can feel like the heart is speeding up or skipping a beat unexpectedly. In addition, the pulse can be irregular, especially in accordance with the pain in your chest area. This symptom suggests a reduced blood flow, thus affecting electrical impulses to your heart. It is important to seek immediate medical attention as arrhythmia can be a dangerous condition. The most serious situation is a sudden cardiac arrest in which the heartbeat might completely stop. Without the help of a defibrillator, it would lead to fatal conditions. [4]
