Patient's question:
Recently, I suddenly experienced nausea again, and at first I thought it was because I ate something wrong. But then I saw that my husband was fine, so it must not be a food-related issue. Besides the feeling that my heart had stopped, someone said this might be due to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). I wanted to ask you, is this likely PVCs?Doctor's answer:
Atrial premature beats are a common clinical diagnosis in cardiac and thoracic surgery. Most cases are caused by various factors such as heart diseases, mental and neurological factors. The condition you mentioned may be due to atrial premature beats, but it is not ruled out that it could be caused by other diseases. Regardless of the cause, it is important to promptly visit a regular public hospital's cardiac and thoracic surgery department for follow-up examination, to confirm the diagnosis, identify the cause, and receive appropriate treatment from a specialist to avoid delaying the condition.
