An irregular heartbeat, also known as arrhythmia, can be normal and harmless in some cases, but it can also indicate an underlying condition, such as atrial fibrillation, heart valve problems, or electrolyte imbalances; consult your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, as some arrhythmias can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, or other complications.
