Suggest Treatment For Skipped Heart Beat

Hi, I m a 34 year female and for the past 3 years I ve been getting skipped heartbeats, it sometimes catches my breath and feels like my heart pauses for a few moments. It really scares me. I have had 24 he b.p monitoring, 24 hr taping and 7 day taping (king of hearts). I don t understand why it keeps happening?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi,

By the history you are giving, it seems like you are having Premature Ventricular beats(PVC). These are normal in a normal heart detected by 2D Echo.

PVC are extra beats originating from places in the heart other than the normal conducting system.

I hope your 24hr & 7days Holter monitoring (continuous ECG monitoring) is normal. If that is normal than their is nothing to worry.

Just don't think about them. I will also advise you to get a Thyroid function test done if it has not been done. If possible send the results of ECho, 24hr & 7day Holter so that I can guide you in a better way.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
