Patient's question:
Aunt has been feeling a particularly sharp pain in her chest over the past year. Sometimes she feels extremely stifled, and at other times, she experiences palpitations, shortness of breath, and trembling. She always feels as if she can't catch her breath. After a thorough medical examination at the hospital, the doctor said she has sinus arrhythmia and premature beats. How should one treat chest tightness, sinus arrhythmia, and premature beats?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent chest tightness has appeared, and there are sinus ectopic premature beats. This situation is still considered to be a recurrence of arrhythmia or the possibility of coronary heart disease. It is necessary to undergo tests and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Generally, an electrocardiogram (ECG) and myocardial enzyme tests are required. If heart failure and impaired cardiac function are present, active treatment is necessary. Oral antiarrhythmic medication, such as metoprolol tartrate tablets, can be used for treatment.
