A member asked:

Irregular heart rhythm--should i see a doctor?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Have it checked: An irregular heart beat could be a simple or benign occurrence which does not require any additional testing or treatment. However, other irregular heart beats could be the warning signs of a more serious problem. For example, untreated atrial fibrillation could lead to a stroke. I would suggest you contact your doctor for an ekg and possibly a holter monitor.
