Could Stress Be Causing Irregular Heartbeats In A 79 Yr Old?
My father is 79 years old. In the last couple days his pulse skipped a beat. He took his blood pressure at home it was good. The blood pressure monitor said irregular heartbeat. He is under some stress right now could that be causing this? Thank you, Gina
