“What diagnoses an arrhythmia?”
I think I have an arrhythmia but I'm unsure if I should go to the doctor or not since mine is not in the area. What tests/procedures diagnose an arrhythmia?

ECG, Holter moniter testing helps
Arrhythmia is a very generic word that means "abnormal heart rhythm." However, it doesn't specify where its origin is from the upper or lower chamber of the heart or the mechanism of the arrhythmia. Typically, you will need some monitoring for an extended period, like 2-4 weeks, to be able to accurately identify the arrhythmia and be able to structure a management plan for it.
