Heart Health

Aside from some fatigue and feeling chilled, how else would you know if there was a problem with your heart? Let’s take a look at some key warning signs when it comes to the heart.

Heart palpitations can be frightening. Most often they’re stress-related and not at all harmful. However, caffeine, nicotine, and hormones can all cause the heart to beat faster than normal, as can an underlying health condition, so it’s wise to seek medical attention if palpitations persist.

There are many, many readily available foods that can help your heart do its job better and for longer. That’s hugely important for our health, as the heart is the engine that drives the rest of our bodies; without a healthy heart, other major organs — from the brain to the lungs and liver — can suffer. So, what foods should you be eating to keep your heart happy and healthy?

While this condition can be temporary, it can lead to serious complications. If you have chronic Afib, here are six lifestyle tips so you don’t miss a beat…

Atrial fibrillation, or Afib, is the most common abnormal heartbeat, or arrhythmia. The upper chambers, or atria, of the heart beat very rapidly and out of sync, which results in the quivering, or fibrillation, of the heart walls. We look into the common causes of atrial fibrillation.

If the symptoms of an irregular heartbeat persist, it could indicate a serious arrhythmia that comes with it’s own complications, such as heart disease. Be aware of these common signs and symptoms of an irregular heartbeat.
