A condition that affects the upper chambers of the heart, causing an abnormally fast heartbeat. It can come and go suddenly, lasting from a few minutes to a few days. It happens when there's an issue with the heart's usual signaling system and is typically not life-threatening. However, in rare cases, it can lead to cardiac arrest or loss of consciousness. It can affect anyone. Risk factors include heart or coronary artery defects or disease, emotional or physical stress/fatigue, and existing thyroid problems.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Mild forms of this condition don't require treatment. If repeated episodes happen, doctors may recommend medication, maneuvers (taught by the doctor), or a carotid massage (performed by the doctor). Other procedures are available if symptoms remain severe.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
