Hello

After going through the medical query raised by you and after having a look at the images attached by you I can understand your concern and I would like to tell you that the images which you have attached are definitely showing some Ectopic beats.

As you are quite young I would like to know few things about your medical history
1. Any other medical condition like diabetes or hypothyroidism.
2. Any habit of smoking or tobacco use
3. Have you undergone a HOLTER MONITORING test (24 hrs ECG monitoring)

Kindly provide the required information.

Kind Regards

Hello again

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the feedback.

I would like to suggest the following things.

1. Kindly get your thyroid levels checked
2. Also discuss with your doctor about getting a holter test done as that will provide important information about how much premature beats are happening throughout the day, whether it’s significant or not or is there any abnormal rhythm happening transiently.

Detailed Answer:
Mostly these ectopics are harmless and are commonly seen in young individuals with healthy hearts. However it is important to make sure the ectopic load in 24 hrs is not significant and there is no abnormal rhythm happening intermittently.
