Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been experiencing irregular heartbeat for a long time now, but it has been getting a lot worse lately. The irregular beats happen every 3-5 beats and I only notice it after I've been out of bed about an hour. Am I at greater risk for having a heart attack or sudden heart failure?
