Suggest Treatment Option For Irregular Heart Beat
I am having irregular heart beats for about 4-5 weeks, slight pressure in my chest. I have chronic acid reflux at first I thought it might be that but the pressure is on my left side where my heart is. Should I go in for a routine check or see a specialist I m a bit nervous.

Hello
Irregular heart beat(arrhythmia) with pressure in left side of chest need immediate medical evaluation.
You may need proper clinical examination and few investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,lipid profile,thyroid profile,chest X-ray (PA view),ECG,TMT,ECHO.
Holter ECG may be required if needed.
Empirically you can take pantoprazole 40 mg half hour before breakfast in the morning for four weeks.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
You should consult cardiologist.
Get well soon.
