I'm really worried about these heart palpitations I've been having for the past six months. Whenever they happen, I rush to the hospital. The ECG showed atrial fibrillation, and that's got me concerned. Is this something dangerous that I need to be really worried about? Also, my 2D Echo results were normal. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Heart palpitations can be concerning, especially when associated with atrial fibrillation on ECG. Atrial fibrillation is a type of irregular heartbeat that can increase the risk of stroke and other heart-related complications. It is important to manage atrial fibrillation to prevent these complications. For atrial fibrillation, you can take medications such as Dabigatran (Pradaxa) to prevent blood clots and Metoprolol (Lopressor) to control heart rate. In some cases, electrical cardioversion or catheter ablation may be recommended. It's good that your 2D Echo is normal, but it's still important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your atrial fibrillation. Regular monitoring and treatment are essential to reduce the risk of complications.
