Premature contractions and breath holding are generally related. Breath holding can lead to oxygen deprivation, which causes sympathetic nerve excitation, elevated blood pressure, accelerated heart rate and other manifestations, which may cause an increase in the number of premature contractions; and premature contractions can cause patients to feel a sense of cardiac arrest, chest tightness, shortness of breath and other symptoms.
Premature beats are due to the cardiac ectopic pacing point early release of electrical impulses, resulting in early contraction of the heart, including atrial premature beats, junctional premature beats, ventricular premature beats, etc. Patients may be accompanied by panic, chest tightness, shortness of breath and other symptoms. Breath-holding can lead to oxygen deprivation, resulting in increased tension in the sympathetic nervous system, elevated blood pressure, increased heart rate, and other manifestations, which may cause an increase in the number of premature beats.
Occasional premature beats, heart rate is not fast, the patient does not have obvious symptoms of panic, chest tightness, generally do not need special treatment; frequent premature beats, combined with coronary artery disease, heart failure and other heart disease, can take anti-arrhythmic drugs such as verapamil, and actively treat the primary disease, if necessary, can be considered radiofrequency ablation.
If the patient has premature beats, it is recommended to go to the hospital and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
