About Arrhythmia 

Arrhythmia is an abnormality in the timing or rhythm of the heartbeat where there is a skip or an addition of a heartbeat causing irregularity either in fast rates or slow rates. A person diagnosed with arrhythmia may feel that his heart is fluttering or experiencing a brief pause and may express that his “heart is turning over in the chest.” Generally, some arrhythmia does not cause any symptoms but other specific arrhythmia can make you feel lightheadedness or dizziness. There are two basic types of arrhythmia; bradycardia (heartbeat too slow) and tachycardia (heartbeat too fast).
