Frequently Asked Questions
Common causes include genetics, obesity, lack of physical activity, excessive salt intake, stress, smoking, alcohol, and chronic conditions like diabetes or kidney disease.
Doctors use tests like ecg (electrocardiogram), holter monitor, echocardiogram, and blood tests to detect and analyze irregular heart rhythms.
An irregular heartbeat, or arrhythmia, is when the heart beats too fast, too slow, or with an abnormal rhythm. it can feel like fluttering, skipping, or pounding in the chest.
Low blood pressure is generally defined as a reading below 90/60 mmhg. while it may not always cause problems, it can lead to symptoms if blood flow to organs is reduced.
It can be caused by dehydration, blood loss, heart problems, infections, hormone imbalances, certain medications, or standing up too quickly (orthostatic hypotension).
It is diagnosed using a blood pressure monitor. readings consistently above 140/90 mmhg (or 130/80 mmhg for people with other health conditions) may indicate hypertension.
Treatment depends on the cause and severity. it may include lifestyle changes, medications, medical procedures like cardioversion or ablation, or using a pacemaker.
Most people have no symptoms. in severe cases, it may cause headaches, dizziness, nosebleeds, blurred vision, or chest pain—but these usually appear only when pressure is very high.
It can be managed with lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, weight loss, limiting salt and alcohol, quitting smoking, and taking prescribed medications regularly.
Some arrhythmias are harmless, but others can be serious and increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, or cardiac arrest. a medical evaluation is important to determine the risk.
