WHAT TO
DO IF
YOU
HAVE
PRE.MATURE HEART BEATS?
Pre-mature heart beats are quite
common.
The cause
may
or may
not
be related
to
the heart
itself.
lt is
due to
an autonomic and ectopic focus or foci
acting
as
another pacer
in
the
heart
and
resulting in an extra but
pre-mature
heart
beat.
Common
causes
for
tran-
sient pre-mature beats are:
emotional
stress, nervousness, fatigue, indiges-
tion, excessive smoking, alcohol, cof-
fee or too-concentrated
tea.
Certain
medications
can also
cause pre-mature
beats.
The
pre-mature beats are usu-
ally
less
than
6
times
/
minute
and
not
causing symptoms like dizziness,
an-
gina, exhaustion
etc.
On
the other
hand, organic causes are coronary dis-
ease, heart muscle infection, rheumatic
heart disease
etc.
For prevention: ad-
equate
rest, reduce
alcohol
consump-
tion,
avoid smoking, coffee or
concen-
trated
tea.
lf pre-mature beats are due
to
medication, consult
the
doctor
for
appropriate
adjustment.
However,
lor
organic causes that are related to heart
abnormalities,
active
management
must be undertaken, especially
lor
those frequent pre-mature beats and
those with obvious
symptoms.
For
those
related
lo
coronary insufficiency,
the patient
must go to
the
hospital
for
immediate management.
