The chamber beats irregularly and chaotically, causing fast, pounding heartbeats. This rapid heart rhythm may lead to blood clots in the heart and increase the risk of stroke and other health complications.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Researchers (<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/34023354\/\">ref. link<\/a>)<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have called it the new cardiovascular epidemic of our times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There are three types of AFib.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Paroxysmal AFib:<\/strong> It lasts less than a week and may not require any treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/persistent-afib-when-is-atrial-fibrillation-considered-persistent-and-how-do-you-live-with-it\/\">Persistent AFib<\/a>:<\/strong> It lasts more than a week and requires medical treatment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Long-Standing Persistent AFib:<\/strong> The most severe AFib condition lasts more than a year and is difficult to treat.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AFib may show no symptoms for most individuals but may cause weakness or fast palpitations with shortness of breath for others. AFib may require treatment to prevent stroke. Medication and therapy can help reset the heart&#8217;s rhythm and prevent the blocking of faulty heart signals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Atrial Fibrillation: What Are The Symptoms and Signs?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The severity of AFib symptoms depends on how fast your ventricles beat. You may not feel anything if the ventricles beat normally. This can be the case even at a slightly elevated pace. However, if your ventricles beat significantly faster, you must start looking for the dangerous symptoms of heart fibrillation and consult a doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a breakdown of the <strong>AFib symptoms and signs<\/strong> you should be aware of:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irregular heartbeat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extreme fatigue<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heart palpitation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light-headedness or dizziness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shortness of breath<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chest pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fainting<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you observe AFib symptoms and signs, keep track of the symptoms and share the information with a healthcare provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Atrial Fibrillation: What Are The\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Dangerous Heart Rate Zones?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heart rates vary from one person to another. However, you may experience a heart rate that is slower or faster than the normal rate. Such an imbalance falls under the dangerous heart zone.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AFib patients can have a heart rate of around 100-175 beats per minute. Your blood pressure may decrease if your heart rate is high, causing dizziness, fainting, confusion, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.fourthfrontier.com\/what-are-heart-palpitations-and-what-causes-it\/\">heart palpitations<\/a>, shortness of breath, and fatigue.

This can cause the heart rate to be too fast or too slow. It is important to manage AFib and maintain a consistent heart rate to reduce the risk of stroke and other serious health problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the symptoms of atrial fibrillation?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symptoms of AFib can vary from person to person, but may include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palpitations (a sensation of skipped or extra heartbeats)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chest discomfort<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shortness of breath<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lightheadedness or dizziness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatigue<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weakness<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How is atrial fibrillation treated?<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment for AFib may include medications to control heart rate and rhythm, procedures to destroy abnormal tissue in the heart that is causing AFib, or surgery to repair or replace damaged heart tissue.
