What is arrhythmia?
An arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat, so a person that suffers from this condition has a heartbeat going either too fast or too slow.

Blocked arteries in the heart (coronary artery disease)
Changes to the heart's structure, such as from cardiomyopathy
Diabetes
High blood pressure
Infection with COVID-19
Overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism)

Certain medications, including cold and allergy drugs bought without a prescription
Drinking too much alcohol or caffeine
