Patient's question:
I would like to inquire about the issue of premature beats. This month, I have experienced premature beats twice. Why is this happening? Is it necessary to treat premature beats? Do I need to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to diagnose the condition? What kind of tests should be done?Doctor's answer:
If the recurrence of premature beats is infrequent and does not exceed 5 per minute, treatment is not necessary. It is sufficient to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and controlling diet, while avoiding staying up late. If the premature beats occur at a rate below 5 per minute, or if they recur continuously or are of multiple types, medication treatment is required. The commonly used medication for treating premature beats is beta-blockers.
