What Is The Cause And Treatment For Extrasistola?

Hi I am 22 years old, and recently I have been experiencing extrasistola, in the beginning they occurred rarely but lately I can hear the pressure on my chest very often, the feeling occures even when I am calm and relaxed, it just starts, and it happens sometimes for even 1 hour, The feeling comes, and goes but the duration of that is quite long like for one hour. I have did the EkG three times now, but luckily the episodes of Extrasistola just once have been recorded. And the doctor didn t give me any medication because he considered that was not dangerous and the heart was healthy. But I still feel these episodes very often, Last time, one episode was so strong that I thought I was having a heart attack, and I dont know maybe I panicked but I lost all of my energy and i was about to pass out. And i went to the doctor but by the time I arrived the episodes went away, I did all the blood test, lung test and EKG, and still they say that the heart is okay. I am not drinking coffee red bull but I smoke tobacco. Why was this last episode of Extrasistola the strongest one that lead me to have a panic attack as well thinking that I was having a heart attack . Any suggestions that I could use.

Hi
Sometimes these extrasystoles can be normal
Most of the time it can be found in case of thyroid variations, stress, pain, drugs or idiopathic.
Please visit the cardiologist to get evaluated for the same
You can undergo holter monitoring, echocardiogram, and get evaluatef for the cardiac enzymes ehen you have pain.
Untill and unless yoir routine and cardiac chamber functions are normal, u don't have to worry.
Take care
