4. Dizziness
When blood flow is sporadic, the brain and other organs may react. In the case of dizziness, the problem may be in the inner ear or the brain. Missing heartbeats can slow or stop blood from reaching certain regions of these organs, resulting in dizziness or lightheadedness.
While dizziness is typically not prolonged, it may come on when a person with AFib is performing a hazardous task such as standing on a ladder. If dizziness occurs at such a moment, injury risk is increased.2’What is Atrial Fibrillation (AFib or AF?)
