Suggest Treatments For Extrasystols
EXTRASYSTOLS
hello:) my name is Julie
I started having extrasystils about 6 months ago. I checked my thiroid, stomach, and got my bad tonsils out. But extrasystols persist . I saw a psychiatrist and got anti panic-attack pills. At first they helped but after a month of taking them i am back at square one...Extrasistols are back.
When I have several of them in short amount of time my heart starts to hurt a little. They scare me and worsen the quality of my life. A deap breath or a worrysome thought can trigger them too. Please help.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) is more likely.
So you should definitely consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
You may need anti arrhythmia drug on the basis of these reports.
Stress management is also required as uncontrolled stress can also precipitate arrhythmia.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
