Patient's question:
Sister recently experienced symptoms of palpitations and anxiety again, with an increased heartbeat sound. Sometimes she also felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. She initially thought it was a symptom of menopause and didn't pay much attention. Coincidentally, she went for a health check-up at her workplace yesterday, and the ECG results showed changes in the T wave, irregular heart rhythm, and sinus atrial arrhythmia. What should she do?Doctor's answer:
Atrial fibrillation, mainly considered to be a manifestation of menopausal symptoms, can be treated appropriately with medications that regulate menopause. However, it is also considered that the condition may be due to poor heart blood supply, and medications that promote heart blood supply can be used accordingly. These can be used in combination with anti-arrhythmic drugs to address the symptoms. Additionally, it is important to try to adjust one's mental state and maintain a positive mood, which will help in recovery.
