Tune Into Your Heart - A-Fib Symptoms
Affecting more than 2.7 million Americans, AFib is the most common heart rhythm condition among people age 65 and older. AFib is also the primary cause of about 15-20% of strokes and could increase your risk for heart failure.
Symptoms of A-Fib include:
- Dizziness
- Heart palpitations
- Fluttering in your chest
- Shortness of breath
Our nationally recognized cardiac team will help you determine the best course of treatment to keep your heartbeat steady.
Conditions That Can Lead To A-Fib
AFib is common and sometimes symptomless. The longer it goes undiagnosed without proper treatment, the more it can progress and become difficult to treat. There are also several conditions that could increase A-Fib.
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- High blood pressure
- Heart valve issues
This is why it's important, especially as you get older, to establish a heart health plan with your physician.
