Health Class | No need to worry too much about occasional premature heartbeat

In recent times, Ms. Wang often had palpitations, as if her heart thumped to a halt, and sometimes there was a feeling of falling, very uncomfortable, chest tightness, dizziness and weakness also occurred from time to time. When she went to the hospital, she found that Ms. Wang had premature heart beats.

It turns out that Ms. Wang has suffered from hypertension and coronary heart disease for many years and has been taking oral medication for a long time to maintain. Ms. Wang developed arrhythmia on the basis of coronary heart disease, and a 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram was recommended to clarify the diagnosis. The results showed that Ms. Wang had 24851 premature ventricular beats in 24 hours, accounting for 21% of the total daily heartbeats.

Based on the test results, Ms. Wang was diagnosed with frequent ventricular premature beats, which, if further developed, could become a more serious rhythm disorder or even life-threatening, requiring active treatment.

Many people are worried about whether their heart is in serious trouble when they find premature beats after an ECG check. In fact, premature beats are an extremely common type of arrhythmia. If you are in good health, occasional premature beats are a normal reaction of the body and do not need to be worried, mostly caused by anxiety, tension, poor sleep, excessive caffeine intake, excessive alcohol consumption, strong tea, etc. These symptoms can be reduced or disappeared after adjusting the daily routine and changing the bad habits.

However, for pathological premature beats, you should pay high attention to them, go to the hospital for ECG examination as soon as possible, and actively treat them under the guidance of doctors. Because if the number of premature beats is too much, it will increase the heart load, and long-term premature heart beats will cause heart failure and even endanger life due to serious arrhythmia.

Pathological premature beats are common in the following cases: occurring in the elderly or in children; an increase in the number of premature beats after exercise and the appearance of multiple sources of premature beats; in people who have originally been diagnosed with heart disease; the number of premature beats in 24 hours accounts for more than 10% of the total number of daily heartbeats; and abnormal ECG changes in addition to premature beats are found on ECG examination.

The most important thing that patients with premature heart beats should avoid is excessive exercise, and they can choose mild exercises such as walking and Tai Chi. It is important to arrange rest and activities reasonably and ensure sufficient sleep. Keep a calm mind in life, do not lose your temper at will, and face the setbacks and conflicts in life positively.

In addition, you should actively treat the primary disease and take medication on time. For more serious patients, they should follow the doctor's orders, go to the hospital for regular physical checkups, and go to the hospital in time once they find palpitations and leaky heartbeats.According to the Health Times
