Things patients often ask
Is a fast heartbeat dangerous?
Often it is harmless, from coffee, stress or poor sleep. If it is new, frequent or comes with fainting, book the rhythm clinic.
Can young people get heart disease?
Less often, but yes, especially with high blood pressure, smoking or a strong family history.
Does stress affect the heart?
Long-term stress can raise blood pressure and change habits. Sleep and movement help.
