I'm a bit worried because my doctor mentioned that I have an irregular heartbeat. Is this something normal or should I be concerned about it? Can you tell me if this might cause any problems?

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.
