A member asked:

What are some signs that i should go to the er with an irregular heartbeat rather than wait and go to the drs. office?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Irregular beats: If you are experiencing chest pain and/or shortness of breath associated with the irregular beats you should go to the ER. But having irregular beats is enough for you to visit your physician to identify the cause and seek treatment to get it back to the normal rhythm.
