A member asked:
Can you tell me if someone is diagnosed with arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) is the heartbeat always irregular?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are regular arrhythmias and irregular arrhythmias. Examples of the former: SVT, atrial flutter, VT. Even with the latter, the rhythm is not necessarily irregular ALL the time.

How can you tell difference between heart palpitation and arrhythmia? Occasionally get fluttering heartbeat, not necessarily related to stress or exercise. Has happened through adult life, only lasts for seconds at a time. Feels scary, but goes away.
