“How is arrhythmia caused?”
I'm 23 years old and my doctor diagnosed me with an arrhythmia. What are some causes of an arrhythmia? Is this serious to have at 23?

PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH A HEART DOCTOR FOR A DETAILED EVALUATION.
Heart palpitations, fluttering or pounding in the heart, and hemodynamic disturbances are potentially life-threatening and can cause problems such as bradycardia and tachycardia - Dizziness - Syncope (fainting) - Unusual awareness of the heart - Anxiety - Abnormal ECG (provides a “ one-shot ” picture of the electrical activity of the heart) or Holter 24-hour monitoring results (Holter monitors look at the heart for a longer period of time and are necessary to detect intermittent rhythm problems). A 28 to 30 day "event monitor" is even more useful for identifying underlying problems. Follow up with the appropriate specialist and adequate testing is indicated. A neurologic evaluation may also be indicated.
Heart rate variability is very common, but not always easily diagnosed.
Possible Causes, Contributing or Associated Factors:
1) Coronary artery disease 2) Hypertension 3) Adverse drug reactions 4) Endocrine imbalances, especially thyroid or adrenal disorders 5) Myocardial tissue disease (valvular, atrial and ventricular abnormalities), 6) Sequela of rheumatic fever 7) Metabolic disorders 8) Nutritional deficiencies, especially magnesium 9) Caffeine 10) Environmental toxins or food allergies 11) Damaged conductive tissue (neurocardiogenic syncope), 12) heavy metal and other toxicities, 13) anxiety and stress disorders, 14) mercury amalgams, EMF sensitivity from cell phones, wifi TOXICITY and chronic exposure to other electronic devices, spinal issues, etc. Follow up and diagnostic testing is recommended ***********
