A member asked:
I was pause for 7 seconds when my heart fibrilation. is it dangerous? whether requiring a pacemaker? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If with symptoms: A pause of 7 seconds is long enough for some people to case symptoms of weakness,dizziness ,etc particularly if it is happening regularly. A pacemaker would help in this instance but it is just that. It prevents the heart from slowing but it does not make the heart any stronger. The Atrial Fibrillation however has more serious consequences like Stroke and requires more attention
