Doctor Answers on Extrasystoles and PAT Attacks
A reader asks how to stop extrasystoles that worsen after meals and another describes sudden PAT attacks with no warning. Doctors note extrasystoles are usually harmless and advise ignoring them. PAT attacks can be relieved by carotid sinus pressure or eyeball compression, with medications like Guanethidine or quinidine if needed. Palpitations can occur at any age, often tied to adrenaline and emotions, and stress reduction is advised.
