Patient's question:
Male, 70 years old, carefully checked for arrhythmia in summer, took Tongxinluo capsules for a period of time, and now experiencing recurrent body swelling when taking the medication.Doctor's answer:
Irregular heartbeat has many different types, including premature atrial contractions, premature ventricular contractions, atrial fibrillation, and atrioventricular blockage. I don’t know which type you have? Is it frequent or occasional? Do you have a history of hypertension? Do you have myocardial ischemia, coronary heart disease, etc.? It is recommended that you undergo a comprehensive and thorough examination at a local hospital, including an electrocardiogram and echocardiography. Maintain a positive attitude and lead a regular lifestyle. Eat small, frequent meals and avoid overeating. Base your diet on light foods. Consume a diet high in protein, vitamins, and low in fat. Engage in appropriate outdoor activities to boost your immunity.
