Please provide an explanation and treatment measures! Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
Arrhythmia is generally caused by overexertion, mental factors, and diseases. It is recommended to adjust your mindset and take Chinese medicine for calming the mind, nourishing the brain, calming nerves, and boosting qi. Examples of such medications include Shengmai Yin, Danshen Pian, Tianwang Buxin Wan, and Naoxin Shu Koufuye. Conduct a 24-hour ECG and an echocardiogram for screening. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods.The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do about arrhythmia, frequent premature ventricular contractions, bigeminy, and premature beats?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
