How your life can change in a heartbeat

HAVE you ever felt that your heartbeat was not normal? If you do feel that your heart beat is "different" from your usual heartbeat rhythm, you should check your pulse at your wrist and ask yourself whether the pulse rate is fast and whether it is regular. If your pulse rate is transiently faster than 120 beats per minute when you are at rest or is irregular in rhythm, it is best you see your doctor for an opinion.

As lifespan increases, the likelihood of developing an abnormal heart rhythm or arrhythmia increases as age increases. Some of these arrhythmias may be harbingers of death and should not be taken lightly.
