You know the feeling. When you first see your oppression and your head begins to rotate, your palms become sweaty and your heart begins to beat a mile per minute.
Is this love? Or is it… an arrhythmia?
The truth is that they can be both.
“Yes, this is love,” The post Samer Saouuma, MD, told The Post Samer, Cardiac Electrophysiology at the Northwell Staten Island University Hospital. “But be careful that you have a lot of overlooked beats can be a sign of a heart rhythm disease, even about your lover.”

“When these sensations become prominent or associated with palpitations, light of light or by passing out, they can represent something more serious,” he explained.
“Cardiac tracking disease, heart block, dysfunction of sinus joints, premature contraction of the ventricle and other cardiac arrhythmias are important treatment conditions.”
An arrhythmia is an abnormal heartbeat that occurs when electrical signals that tell the heart to beat is not working properly. This can result in heartbeat very quickly – a condition known as tachycardia – or very slowly – which is called bradycardia.
A normal heartbeat at rest for adults varies between 60 and 100 beats per minute, with a lower heartbeat that generally indicates better cardiovascular health.
But certain situations – such as exercise, excitement or being with your boyfriend – of course can make your heart beat faster.
“The brain and our heart are connected through the autonomic nervous system and any emotion or excitement can produce an overlooked beating or multiple rapid beatings in a row,” explained Saouuma.

A bypassing heartbeat, also known as a palpation, is usually nothing to be alarmed – and is not even technically a “passage”.
“When you feel an overlooked beating, this is most often due to a premature heartbeat, where the heart squeezes too early, followed by a slight pause, making it feel like an overlooked beating,” explained the saouma.
So how do you know if it is love or an arrhythmia? First, the context is essential.
Is your heart competing or overcoming a beat due to an emotional experience, or does it happen even when you are resting or falling asleep? Is it a flying sensation or lasting?
If the issue occurs when you are calm, it occurs with a regularity, or lasts for a while, it can signal a basic state of the heart.
Other disturbing signs to see, according to Saouuma, are “frequent bypass beats, prolonged palpitations or chest flights, dizziness, outdoors, shortness of breath and rare chest pain”.
If the episodes become “frequent, prolonged and more intense”, Saouuma said it may be time to see a doctor, who can use an electrocardiogram (ECG) to determine the cause.
“Experts are treating all sorts of heart rhythm disorders to keep you alive and lovers.”
