According to the National Institutes of Health or NIH, Atrial Fibrillation, or AFib, is ‘one of the most common types of arrhythmias or irregular heart rhythms.’ It’s a heart condition that causes the heart to have irregular and, oftentimes, abnormally fast heart rates.
Even experts aren’t entirely sure what causes AFib, but it usually happens when electric impulses abnormally fire up the atria. This causes irregular heartbeats and palpitations, chest pains, and lightheadedness, to name a few.
The risk of this disease increases as the patient gets older. It is also noted that 1 out of 7 strokes is caused by AFib. Thus, it’s usually given proper medical attention to alleviate symptoms and to improve the condition.
