What could have caused occasional 'irregular heartbeat' indication in omron bp monitor for 57+ yr female ? the reading shows bp 116/77 & pulse 69.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irregular heartbeat: BP machines are not really designed to detect abnormalities of heart rhythm. Causes may include machine error, sinus arrhythmia (i.e., normal), or arrhythmias such as premature contractions or atrial fibrillation. If there are no symptoms it is much less likely to be worrisome. If you have sustained palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, or lightheadedness then see a doc.
