Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sinus dysrhythmia is a common benign condition where the heartbeat varies with respiration, meaning the heart rate increases during inhalation and decreases during exhalation. It is usually asymptomatic and requires no treatment. However, if the heart rate decreases to 40 to 50 beats per minute, the patient may experience palpitations (a sensation of irregular or forceful beating of the heart) and dizziness. Lung congestion and cough are associated with heart failure, hypertension and pale skin are associated with other conditions such as shock or anemia, and decreased urinary output may indicate kidney problems.
