Palpitations -skipped beats-pvc
Hi, I am having palpitations in the form of skipped beats for past 3 months. I did 6 ecg, 3 echo, 1 tmt, 1 holter for two days. Doctor initially prescribed me metocard xl 25 for 8 days. But it did not improve my palpitations. Then I did holter and it showed "intermittent monomorphic clustered ventricular ectopic". 1383 pvc in 2 days holter. Sometimes peaked 250 pvc in an hour. Now doctor prescribed me Cordarone 100mg twice for 15 days. I knew cordarone has high side effects. Please advise how to stop this palpitations .

You need physical consultation for this . Complete evaluation of ecg and blood tests is required. Till then limit caffeine intake and reduce smoking alcohol and stress if any. Continue metocard xl . Don’t start cordarone till you get second opinion.
