Symptom #4: Abnormal Heart Rhythm
Abnormal heart rhythm, also known as heart arrhythmia, is a group of conditions where the heartbeat is too fast, too slow, or irregular. Tachycardia occurs when the heart beat is above 100 beats per minute while bradycardia occurs when the heart beat is less than 60 per minute.
Other types of abnormal heart rhythms include supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular arrhythmia, extra beats, bradyarrhythmia, and more. Arrhythmias are usually caused by issues with the electrical conduction of the heart and electrolyte imbalances, including hypokalemia.
