But despite adopting the best lifestyle practices, there are a few heart conditions that might be inevitable like heart blockage. A heart blockage, medically termed as&nbsp; atrioventricular (AV) block,&nbsp; happens when the electrical signals telling your heart to beat are blocked or delayed. In turn, this partial or complete blockage of the signals, makes your heart either beat slowly or skip a beat, as your heart is unable to pump blood properly. Did you know? There is more than one type of heart blockage. Additionally, the type and severity of heart blockage symptoms o depend on the type of heart block you are suffering from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Different types of heart blockage symptoms and types <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heart blockage is classified by degree, based on the severity of the electrical blockage between the upper and lower chambers of the heart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>First degree heart blockage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is known as the mildest type of heart blockage, as it involves really minor disruption of the heartbeat. In this, the electrical signals might be delayed or slowed but do not stop, they still reach the ventricles, the lower chambers of the heart. These ventricles do the job of pumping blood out of the heart and into the circulatory system.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms&nbsp;of first degree <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>First degree rarely has any symptoms<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Second degree heart blockage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is further categorized into Type 1 &amp; Type II. In type 1, the electrical signals tend to slow down gradually, leading to the point your heart skips a beat. Whereas in type II, the electrical signals sometimes are unable to reach the ventricles. This then causes a slower and abnormal rhythm and may even often progress to third degree heart blockage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.truebasics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Heart-anatomy.jpg\" alt=\"Second degree heart blockage\" class=\"wp-image-5605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.truebasics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Heart-anatomy.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.truebasics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Heart-anatomy-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.truebasics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Heart-anatomy-768x450.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of second degree <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Dizziness<\/li><li>Fainting<\/li><li>Feeling of your heart skips beats<\/li><li>Chest pain<\/li><li>Trouble breathing&nbsp;<\/li><li>Nausea<\/li><li>Fatigue                                                                                                                                                                                            <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Third degree heart blockage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Highest in terms of severity, it happens when electrical signals stop traveling between the upper and lower chambers of the heart.
