Question
Hello doctor,
I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with an extrasystole (don't know whether atrial or ventricular extrasystole). Currently, I have heart palpitations frequently, that is every day, when standing a lot (more than 10% / 1 minute), sitting less, lying down, not or rarely, in addition, there are no obvious symptoms. . So the doctor asked me if having extrasystoles is dangerous? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is it dangerous to have extrasystoles? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Extrasystoles often have ventricular extrasystoles and atrial extrasystoles. In terms of degree, there are benign and malignant extrasystoles.
You have extrasystoles with heart skipping beats, it's best to see a cardiologist to re-measure the ECG, wear a 24-hour Holter electrocardiogram to determine what the extrasystoles are and from there the doctors will determine cause of extrasystoles and better counseling and treatment planning.
If you still have questions about extrasystoles, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
