Suggest Effective Drugs For Arrhythmia In The Elderly
Hi i have been getting arithmia when i drink coffee in the morning...is there a way i can get this thing stopped without taking any more drugs? I am on alot of drugs right now? And if i need aand additional drug what would be the safest? You know without any side effects...I am 67 years old and had my heart checked recently and said all checked out fine.....
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
So heart evaluation, what was the cause found for arrhythmia. I guess those are ventricular ectopics. As aggravated by coffee, try to keep its consumption under control. Also, you should get your drug modified, and request to include beta blockers in the current medicines instead of other medicines. This will prevent ectopics from occurring. They are usually safe and should try if ectopics are there.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
