A member asked:

When should i go to a doc for a possible arythmia? family history of heart problems (including too many leads causeing failure)

Dr. Dev Vaz answered

If you have symptoms: Symptoms should dictate whether you see a doctor for an arrhythmia. Generally sustained palpitations for more than 30 seconds or palpitations associated with dizziness, chest discomfort, or shortness of breath warrant a full evaluation and treatment.
