Depends on rhythm: Many cardiac arrhythmias are benign - abnormal but don't cause any problems; while others are not. First find out what arrhythmia, then ask your doctor for advice. Pacs and rare pvc, may require no treatment, atrial fibrillation may need anti coagulation and possibly cardioversion, VT may need defibrillator. Choice will depend on your medical history, too. See a doctor.
