Symptoms may range from palpitations and dizziness to fatigue or fainting spells in severe instances.
Diagnosis often includes an electrocardiogram (ECG), Holter monitoring, or stress testing to capture irregularities in heart rhythms.
Treatment varies based on severity but may include lifestyle modifications, medications like beta-blockers, or procedures such as catheter ablation.
Regular follow-ups are crucial in managing this condition effectively and preventing complications such as stroke or heart failure.
An individualized treatment plan can help normalize your heart rhythm and improve quality of life.
