Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Is there any good way to deal with premature ventricular contractions?Doctor's answer:
Atrial premature beats are the most common type of arrhythmia, referring to premature contractions of the heart caused by ectopic pacemaker activity, which can occur on the basis of sinus or ectopic rhythm. They can be infrequent or frequent, and may occur irregularly or regularly after every or every few normal beats, forming a couplet or run. Normal individuals can also experience them, and some may have no conscious symptoms. Many drugs, emotional excitement, fatigue, nervous tension, poor nutrition, excessive smoking, drinking, or consuming strong tea can all lead to atrial premature beats. Some patients may also feel palpitations, a sensation of skipped heartbeats, fatigue, dizziness—these are more severe symptoms that require medical examination and targeted treatment.
