Should I Consult A Cardiologist For Sinus Bradycardia With Two Premature Ventricular Contractions?
My recent holter monitor said:
Sinus bradycardia to sinus tachycardia
Rare premature atrial contractions and single atrial couplet
Two premature ventricular contractions
Heart rate ranged between 54-128 beats per minute
7 Premature atrial complexes occurred as isolated beats
Would you recommend I see a cardiologist?

Dear patient,
If you do not have any prior cardiac history, and do not have any symptoms such as lightheadedness, near fainting, fainting spells, chest pain, shortness of breath, etc, then the report is actually very benign and does not translate pathology; on the other hand if you do have symptoms a consult may be in order.
Hope that is useful, wish you the best,
