Patient's question:
I've been getting older recently, and I always feel my heart racing severely. Yesterday afternoon, my daughter accompanied me to the hospital for an electrocardiogram check-up. They said I have premature atrial contractions, but it's not serious. The doctor told me to rest at home and come back if I feel uncomfortable. So, what are the treatments for premature atrial contractions?Doctor's answer:
At the age of 53, the recurrence of palpitation symptoms may be due to psychological abnormalities. The reappearance of premature beats is common, and occasional atrial premature beats generally do not require special concern or treatment. However, if frequent premature beats occur, timely medication treatment is necessary. On a daily basis, medication should be taken to control indicators such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood viscosity within the normal reference range, preventing the recurrence of other complications from the disease. Adjust your mindset and maintain a low-sodium diet.
