Doctor says my friend has arrhythmia. Last night his heartbeat rate got really slow then was admitted to hospital for the whole day today and even had to be taken to the ICU in the afternoon when the heartbeat fell drastically again. Please advice what should be done. And the doctors sy there is no cure for this. Is it true. If not then what should be done. He is in his mid-twenties what should be done.
