Suggest Treatments For Skipping Heart Beats And Shortness Of Breath
My heart continually skips an average of seven skips in one minute. I am also experiencing shortness of breath without any exertion. I have high blood presure and I am taking medidations to control it. I am alergic to a few prescription dieretic medications so I am taking nettle leaves which is very effective in releasing fluid from my body through urination. Can you give me a course to take to help with my heart skipping beats and my shortness of breath?

Hi,
Shortness of breath can be caused your skipped beats, which are most likely extrasystolies(premature heart contractions).
The treatment usually are beta blockers. But unfortunately i can't prescribe it online. You should see your doctor, perform an ECG, and your doctor will prescribe a treatment.
Also, I would advise you to check blood electrolytes. Electrolyte imbalance can cause such symptoms as well.
Wishing you good health
