What is Arrhythmia and
How Can Breathing Help?
You may be interested know what is arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is an abnormal rhythm of the heart.There are two basic kinds of arrhythmia. Bradycardia is when the heart rate is too slow - less than 60 beats per minute. Tachycardia is when the heart rate is too fast - more than 100 beats per minute. Most arrhythmia are harmless, but some can be serious or even life threatening. When the heart rate is too fast, too slow, or irregular, the heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the body. Lack of blood flow can damage the brain, heart, and other organs. Heart arrhythmia can arise suddenly and be temporary or be a chronic problem if the underlying cause is not managed. Some heart rhythm problems seem innocent enough but may become bothersome. However, it is not necessary to just endure this. I recommend trying to deal with this issue using mind-body practices as are taught on this website. It's usually better to try a non-drug route to self-healing before choosing the drug option. To understand what is arrhythmia, it helps to understand that the heart generates an electromagnetic pulse wave. That wave is not a smooth or regular wave when it is arrhythmic. Stress, anger or other emotional conditions can lead to arrhythmia. So, managing stress is a good way to control or even eliminate arrhythmia. This website is full of practices and tips for transforming stress into positive energy.
