Brief answer...you must go to ER immediately
Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
These irregular heart beats are called as arrythmias of heart.
Your heart beats can be fast or slow.
There can be various reasons for such irregular heart beats which range from harmless conditions like excessive coffee intake to serious heart conditions like high blood pressure or some structural damage to the heart.
Since these arrythmias can precipitate stroke or heart failure and specially in old age,I would advise you to immediately go to ER and get a complete cardiac evaluation done and get the required treatment.
I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
