No. I have an irregular heart beat, had it checked out by the doctor and he said it was normal for me, probably born with it. It is "functional, normal". Do get it checked out if you have one, just to be sure there isn't something more serious going on,.

it depends on how often you have the irregular heart beat for example this summer I was playing softball and had an irregular heart beat that was 160 beats per min. so I had to get rushed to the emergany room so it kinda depends on how often you have it (in case if you're wondering i didn't end up haveing a heart disease) hope this helped!

I really doubt it, It is called an arrhythmia of the heart. And I have alot, I don't know if it's because of stress or my high cholesterol. But I have a blood pressure machine at home & it shows the little warning sign for abnormal heart beats, I've had them diagnosed at the hospital too. The ER just told me to go to cardiologist, my cardiologist didn't say much about it. So no, I don't think it's a heart disease....might be a sign of some sort of heart disease though. Get it checked out. Good luck!

Arrhythmias are considered heart disorders, not really heart disease. Heart disease usually refers to symptoms that cause the heart to not function properly due to damage of the heart muscle, valves, or arteries.
