6 Signs May Indicate Atrial Fibrillation

In a report from Medline Plus, there are 6 signs that may indicate an individual has atrial fibrillation. When you have been diagnosed with a heart condition that requires treatment and time off from work, then you could be entitled to receive long-term disability benefits.

According to the Heart Rhythm Society, there are more than 2 million people in the United States who are living with atrial fibrillation. This condition is when there is an abnormal, rapid heartbeat.

6 Warning Signs of Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of suffering a stroke and developing a blood clot, which is why knowing the signs to look for, is important in order to be properly treated. 

• shortness of breath (especially after exercise);
• dizziness;
• the feeling of pounding in the chest;
• chest pain;
• reduced ability to exercise; and
• frequent heart palpitations.

Early detection and treatment could potentially save a life.
