Patient's question:
I am 30 years old this year, and my physical condition is generally very good. I don't have much discomfort, but I might be a bit tired from work recently. Recently, my workplace conducted a physical examination and did an electrocardiogram. The results showed irregular heartbeat and ventricular premature beats. I would like to ask what should be done about irregular heartbeat and ventricular premature beats detected on an electrocardiogram?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have an irregular heartbeat and premature ventricular contractions. It is recommended to have a Holter electrocardiogram to see how many premature contractions there are in 24 hours. If you don't feel any discomfort and the number of premature contractions is not significant, there is no need for immediate treatment. You can have follow-up checks at intervals and monitor your condition for a period of time. If the premature contractions are frequent or you experience discomfort, it is recommended to consult the cardiology department again. Pay attention not to get fatigued, not to get angry, to maintain a regular schedule, and to have follow-up checks at intervals.
