50 yr old male 6ft3in 220lbs I have had P.A.Cs for about 13 years . They almost never stop and occasionally will go into atrial fibrillation for a few seconds then back to normal. Aything I can do other than not worry about it, as is what my DR. told me to do.
Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. Premature atrial contraction or atrial fibrillation are related to rhythm issue. You don't mention if you have been on treatment during this time. As your doctor has told you, you should not worry, BUK if this happens for a long time and if you have catch episodes of atrial fibrillation than you definitely should treat them medical. This is mandatory. You can treat this extra beats or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with anti-arythmic Chat Doctor. Which one depends on the results of your holder rhythm monitoring, blood test analyze and cardiac echocardiography. All this decide the best treatment for you. You don't mention, your associated disease, but if you have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation it might be necessary also to do blood anticoagulation. This prevents thrombotic events from atrial fibrillation. Hope I was helpful. Best regards,
