The steady lup-dup, lub-dup
regularity of our heart’s pumping beat is reassuring, and
we don’t mind it speeding up for exercise or slowing down
for sleep, as long as its rhythm remains steady. Any glitch in that
rhythmic throb, whether too slow or too fast, is called an arrhythmia.
In either case, you can feel dizzy or lightheaded because not enough
blood is getting to the brain when the heart rhythm is off-kilter.
To assess and correct an arrhythmia requires a medical professional.
Many times it’s nothing serious--too much coffee or too little
sleep. Sometimes the problem isn’t even heart-related: It
could be a fever or an overactive thyroid. But sometimes the cause
is indeed heart-related; for example, it could be the first sign
of coronary artery disease.
Obviously, this WholeHealth Chicago Healing Center for Arrhythmias
is no substitute for in-person diagnosis or professional treatment.
But it can help you make certain lifestyle changes; and the herbs,
and supplements we suggest can definitely reduce your susceptibility
to heartbeat irregularity and the anxiety that often accompanies
it.
