A member asked:

Can you exercise with an irregular heart beat?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

It depends: Irregular heart beat is not a diagnosis, it is a symptom. You must be evaluated to find out what your ECG shows when you are having irregularities in heart rhythm.

Likely: It would depend on the type, cause, and symptoms you have. Also any treatment you are on would need to be considered. Definitely a discussion worth having with your doctor.
