Patient's question:
It's been about a year now, and I've been feeling unwell. There have been intermittent pains in the chest area multiple times. It's not too painful, but it's definitely uncomfortable, and it hasn't subsided. However, the symptoms haven't disappeared either. I went to the hospital for a 24-hour ECG, and the results showed occasional atrial premature beats and changes in ST-T. Are these serious?Doctor's answer:
This is not very serious. Occasional premature ventricular contractions can appear multiple times in normal people. Changes in ST-T segments are often considered to be due to myocardial ischemia or myocardial strain. If the changes occur infrequently, it is advisable to rest more, take medications that nourish the heart muscle, and maintain a stable condition. Through a comprehensive analysis of the detailed examination of the heart ultrasound, it is important to avoid strenuous exercise in daily life and engage in appropriate exercise. Regular follow-up is recommended.
