Suggest Treatment For Irregular Heartbeats
I have an irregular heartbeat since birth, I have an extra heartbeat sometimes. Usually when it happens it only lasts for a few minutes to hour at most. And then I am just exhausted. It has lasted for almost 5 hours this time and I don t know what to do.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are having an irregular heart beat then you should see your doctor for an ECG and possible a holter (an ECG done for at least 24 hours) to take a look at your heart rate and rhythm.
The type of abnormal beat needs to be determined, some require treatment, others may be monitored.
I hope this helps
