Suggest Treatment For Heart Palpitations
Hi For the last week or so my heart seems to be missing a beat every couple of minutes or so , thru the day ...I do have a lot of stress but think I m quite used to the stress of 4 high needs foster children with challenging behaviours. Other than controlled blood pressure. I am healthy and work hard without any symtoms . I have had a fleeting heart murmer since birth. Do you think the heart missing beats are serious ?

Most of the ectopic s are benign and are present whenever the stress whether physical or mental pushes up the adrenaline in the blood stream. Nothing to worry and they don't need any treatment. However we need a documentation of what variety is it. A 24 holter will help if they occur everyday. It will give us a clear idea what type, and guide I us to any treatment if required
