This is a too-generic question. "Arrhythmia" is not a diagnosis per se, but a category, meaning any heart rhythm abnormality. That said, they are almost never a source of fatigue as the primary symptom.
Like a car that is out of tune, an irregular heart rhythm can reduce cardiac output and make you feel tired. They can also lead to heart dysfunction which can make you feel tired. Typical arrhythmias that are associated with fatigue include Atrial fibrillation and frequent PVC's.
