Treatment of palpitations and cardiac arrhythmia requires comprehensive consideration of the patient's specific condition and underlying causes. For palpitations caused by arrhythmias, antiarrhythmic drugs such as propafenone or amiodarone can be used for targeted therapy. If palpitations result from conditions such as hyperthyroidism or anemia, specific treatments with antithyroid medications or hematinics are required to address the root cause. Traditional Chinese patent medicines, such as Shensong Yangxin Capsule, may also help alleviate symptoms like palpitations and shortness of breath. Non-pharmacological approaches—including psychological therapy, moderate exercise, dietary adjustments, and maintaining regular sleep patterns—also play a positive role in improving palpitations. In special cases, such as acute myocardial infarction or other severe conditions, surgical intervention may be necessary. All medication use should be conducted under the guidance of a qualified physician.
