Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are different types and causes of irregular heart rhythms, called arrhythmias. The exact type and likely cause would need to be determined with an ECG and possibly a holter test (24 hour ECG). Treatment would then be initiated after the cause is known.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
