Many of us have such busy lives we don't find time to check in with our own health. Sometimes we might overlook signs on our body that we aren't okay – but this can have devastating consequences.
As it's World Heart Rhythm Week, Brits are being urged to be on the lookout for key warning signs of an abnormal heartbeat. It might sound obvious, but according to the British Heart Foundation (BHF), at least 270,000 people in the UK are unaware they have the condition.
It's believed that around 3 million Brits have an abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia, and many aren't even aware. If the symptoms are caught early, they can be treated. From palpitations to fainting and feeling breathless, it's vital to get any possible symptoms of arrhythmia checked.
