Patient question
When frequent premature beats affect sleep, how should I arrange an evaluation?
Answer reviewed by Xu ShaoPeng, Chief Physician
Professional answer
Keep a log of the frequency, duration, sleep pattern, caffeine or alcohol intake, recent stress, and medications, and schedule a medical evaluation. Do not judge the danger based on subjective counts alone, and do not self-medicate with antiarrhythmic drugs; if accompanied by chest pain, fainting, or significant shortness of breath, seek emergency care.
