00:00This morning, we will discuss an important issue that has to do with the health of our heart.

00:06This is Arrhythmia, a condition that can affect or affect the regularity of our heartbeats.

00:15And to clarify our questions about this condition, we will have with us this morning,

00:20the cardiologist, Dr. Christopher Oliver-Nazal.

00:24Good morning, Doc, and welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:29Hello, good morning to all of you, and good morning to all the viewers and listeners of the program.

00:35Good morning, Dr. Nazal. This is Meiji, and I'm here with Daniel.

00:39Doc, what is Arrhythmia, and how does it differ from other heart diseases?

00:46Well, basically, when we say Arrhythmia, this is where the heartbeat itself has a problem.

00:53The problem is the current of the heart that is causing it to beat.

00:58Normally, our heart beats in a regular fashion.

01:03It has the right speed and the right rhythm.

01:06When we have Arrhythmia, either the right rhythm is lost,

01:10or our heart beats too fast or too slow.

01:15And this will have consequences on the health of a person.

01:19To follow up, how long is this kind of signs?

01:26The heart beats too fast.

01:29Because normally, there are instances or circumstances

01:34where when we are excited, our heart beats too fast.

01:39What is the difference between this and Arrhythmia, Doc?

01:44As you mentioned, there are normal signs.

01:48In an ordinary day, in an ordinary individual,

01:51where nothing special happens to him,

01:54usually, our heart beats between 60 to 100 beats per minute.

02:02Now, if it is less than 60 or more than 100,

02:06this is one type of Arrhythmia.

02:08The next type is irregular heartbeats.

02:11In this case, a person can sometimes feel what we call palpitations.

02:17Because in an ordinary situation,

02:19we cannot feel the beating of our heart.

02:22But there are instances where,

02:24if the beating of the heart is not in the right rhythm,

02:27a person can feel it as palpitations.

02:30He can feel the beating of his heart.

02:33Doc, what are the main signs of Arrhythmia?

02:38And are there particular factors, particular risk factors here?

02:44That's a good question, Daniel.

02:47The causes and risk factors of Arrhythmia are different.

02:52The primary cause of Arrhythmia would be heart disease.

02:59Of course, the leading cause is the coronary artery disease.

03:08Sometimes, there are other medical conditions.

03:12For example, if the muscle of the heart is hurting,

03:15this is called cardiomyopathy.

03:17If the heart valves are hurting,

03:20these are called valvular heart disorders.

03:22If a person has hypertension,

03:24this can also happen.

03:26Or sometimes, there is a congenital disease.

03:30When a person was born,

03:32the muscle or part of his heart is really irritable.

03:35It's the current.

03:37That's why he can feel Arrhythmia.

03:40Of course, other medical conditions

03:42which may not be originating from the heart

03:47can also cause Arrhythmia.

03:49For example, people who have thyroid problems

03:51can also cause Arrhythmia.

03:53People who are anemic,

03:55who have electrolyte problems,

03:57kidney problems and such,

03:59can also cause Arrhythmia.

04:02Now, regarding the risk factors,

04:07these are the things that can increase the chance

04:10of a person having Arrhythmia.

04:12On the top of the list,

04:14we often say that if you drink coffee,

04:16you will have Arrhythmia.

04:18That is true because of the caffeine.

04:22What is that?

04:24Yes, if you drink coffee, you get palpitations.

04:26Yes, that's right.

04:28But other than coffee,

04:30other than caffeine intake,

04:32actually, the most common risk factor

04:34would be the use of tobacco products

04:36and the use of alcohol.

04:38It really increases the chance

04:40of a person having Arrhythmia.

04:42Of course, other things,

04:44the so-called energy drinks

04:46can also cause Arrhythmia.

04:50Some medicines may cause

04:52our heart to react that way.

04:54People who have hypertension,

04:56of course,

04:58who have high blood sugar,

05:00or who are obese

05:02can also have Arrhythmia.

05:06Doc, what are the signs

05:08or symptoms

05:10of having Arrhythmia

05:12and how can we

05:14distinguish it?

05:16Are there certain

05:18symptoms or signs

05:20of having Arrhythmia?

05:24The most common sign

05:26of having Arrhythmia would be palpitations.

05:28What we feel

05:30is the beating

05:32of our heart.

05:35Of course, there are other times

05:37when a person feels dizzy

05:39or light-headed

05:41because when the beating

05:43of the heart is irregular,

05:45the heart can't do its job properly.

05:47Sometimes,

05:49there is a so-called shortness of breath

05:51or a shortness of breath

05:53when doing something.

05:55Some people would experience

05:57feeling weak

05:59or tired

06:01or even if a person's Arrhythmia

06:04can even faint

06:06every now and then.

06:08Those are the common

06:10signs

06:12or symptoms

06:14of having Arrhythmia.

06:16Now,

06:18the symptoms

06:20of having Arrhythmia

06:22are not related

06:24to the severity

06:26of the Arrhythmia.

06:28There are symptoms

06:30like palpitations

06:32but the condition

06:34is very mild.

06:36It's not life-threatening.

06:38But on the reverse,

06:40there are other forms of Arrhythmias

06:42that are very dangerous

06:44even if it happens once in a while.

06:46But the problem is

06:48you can't differentiate it by feel.

06:50So, what a person

06:52should do is

06:54once he experiences palpitations

06:56especially when it's repeated

06:58and there are other symptoms

07:01such as tiredness,

07:03shortness of breath,

07:05or even fainting,

07:07it's better to go to a doctor

07:09preferably to a cardiologist.

07:11Doc, if there's a problem

07:13in love life,

07:15will it happen?

07:17Just kidding.

07:19Doc, is it possible

07:21for kids to have Arrhythmia

07:23and how does it affect them?

07:25Is it possible?

07:27Yes, actually,

07:29Arrhythmia is a feeling of age.

07:31Of course, it's more likely

07:33for older people

07:35because they have other

07:37comorbid conditions.

07:39But for kids, it's possible

07:41because Arrhythmia could be due

07:43to genetics or acquired causes.

07:45Something congenital,

07:47something the kid was born with,

07:49or if the kid was born with

07:51some sort of a heart defect,

07:53it's possible at a very young age

07:55to have Arrhythmia.

07:58What about palpitations?

08:00How does it affect

08:02a person or a patient?

08:04What's the first step

08:06that should be done

08:08and how does it affect

08:10Arrhythmia?

08:12Well, unfortunately,

08:14there's no standard

08:16first aid for palpitations.

08:18Maybe the best thing

08:20that a person can do

08:22when they feel palpitations

08:24is to stop for a while

08:27but there's really no

08:29first aid that can treat

08:31them right then and there.

08:33So the best thing that a person can do

08:35when they experience repeated palpitations,

08:37especially when

08:39there are additional symptoms

08:41like dizziness,

08:43a feeling of death,

08:45chest pain,

08:47or difficulty breathing,

08:49the best thing to do

08:51is to go to a doctor

08:53or a hospital

08:55for proper tests

08:57in order to diagnose

08:59Arrhythmia.

09:01Doc, I'm just curious

09:03what's the difference

09:05between Arrhythmia

09:07and panic attack

09:09or anxiety attack?

09:11Because you mentioned palpitations

09:13and breathing,

09:15they seem to have similarities.

09:17What's the difference, Doc?

09:19Okay, so

09:21when we say palpitations,

09:24that's the sensation

09:26that you feel

09:28that your heart is beating differently.

09:30So we can feel palpitations

09:32in a

09:34normal situation.

09:36For example, when you're tired

09:38when you're exercising,

09:40you can feel your heart beating.

09:42That's also palpitation,

09:44but it's not the medical pathologic

09:46type of palpitation.

09:48Like what I said earlier,

09:50what if there's a problem in love life?

09:52But that could

09:54only be the symptom of palpitation.

09:56When we say Arrhythmia,

09:58that's the time

10:00that the doctor

10:02diagnosed through certain tests.

10:04The most common would be the ECG.

10:06There are certain tests

10:08that demonstrate

10:10that the heart is irregular

10:12or has a problem.

10:14Some people who just

10:16experienced palpitations

10:18for different reasons,

10:21when we say palpitation,

10:23it's just normal.

10:25Maybe it's just palpitation

10:27or maybe it's just very sensitive.

10:29That's why it's just a normal test.

10:31When we say Arrhythmia,

10:33that's the time

10:35that the doctor diagnosed

10:37that there's a problem

10:39in the electrical conduction

10:41of the heart.

10:43So in the lab tests

10:45and lab results,

10:47there's a problem

10:50in the heart.

10:52I think Meiji will be free

10:54to drink coffee later.

10:56I don't think so.

10:58Doctor,

11:00when the heart beats,

11:02should we follow it?

11:04Oh my!

11:06If we feel something,

11:08maybe we should follow it.

11:10Let's just go for it.

11:12Alright.

11:14Doctor,

11:16you said that

11:18how can we avoid it?

11:20What should we do?

11:22What would you recommend

11:24to avoid Arrhythmia?

11:26Well,

11:28there's no first aid

11:30that the person can do

11:32right there.

11:34But of course,

11:36we have many ways to treat it.

11:38There are medicines

11:40which are specifically designed

11:42to combat Arrhythmia.

11:44At the same time,

11:47aside from the medicines,

11:49there are procedures

11:51that we can do

11:53to help the person

11:55to terminate the irregular heart beat

11:57if there's a problem.

11:59Now, in terms of avoiding it,

12:01the best thing to do is

12:03to avoid the risk factors

12:05that we mentioned earlier.

12:07If it's hypertensive,

12:09let's try to maintain a normal body weight.

12:11If it's diabetic,

12:13try to maintain a normal blood sugar.

12:15Avoid smoking and tobacco products.

12:17Let's try to avoid alcohol consumption.

12:19Let's maintain an ideal body weight

12:21and a good exercise regimen

12:23which should be regular.

12:25It's really key

12:27in terms of disorders

12:29and diseases,

12:31your healthy lifestyle.

12:33Thank you so much, Doc.

12:35We know that there are lab tests

12:37and procedures

12:39that can be avoided.

12:41Once again, thank you so much,

12:44Christopher Oliver-Nazal

12:46for giving us your time

12:48and important information

12:50that we are enlightened about arrhythmia.

12:52Have a nice day, Doc.

12:54Thank you, Doc.
