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. Could you please tell me how I should prevent the occurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?Doctor's answer:
Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is a relatively common type of arrhythmia in clinical diagnosis within the department of cardiovascular medicine. This condition can occur in normal individuals as well as in patients with heart disease. Clinically, it manifests as paroxysmal palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, and difficulty breathing. For patients with heart disease, it is important to actively treat the underlying heart condition while also paying attention to rest and avoiding overexertion. If the condition recurs frequently, radiofrequency ablation can be considered as a treatment option.
