Suggest Treatment For Premature Ventricular Contractions
yes i have been diagnosed with PVCs, they have given me a beta blocker and said it was not life threatning. but when i have them i feel like they are taking my last breath and after they have passed i am very very tired and fatigued. could it be something else wrong?
Hi welcome to HCM. I understand your query and concern. PVCs can be treated effectively in many cases.Mostly they are benign.All organic causes have to be ruled out by the following protocol. I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography,ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart.Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day.Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful.Drugs like antihypertensives and antiarrhythmics will help.Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food.One pomegranate a day will help to keep your heart at good pace without clot formation. Avoid coffee and tea and alcohol by all means. Consult a Cardiologist for further expert management. Post your further queries if any. Thank you.
