The treatment for palpitations should consider multiple factors comprehensively. The following are the main treatment options:
1. General treatment: Maintain a regular作息 schedule and avoid staying up late; reduce stress in work and daily life; engage in appropriate physical activities, such as jogging or swimming, to alleviate palpitation symptoms.
2. Medication: Select appropriate medications based on the underlying cause. For palpitations caused by arrhythmia, calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, and other medications may be used. For palpitations caused by hyperthyroidism, antithyroid medications can be administered.
3. Surgical treatment: For palpitations caused by hyperthyroidism, surgical treatment such as thyroidectomy may be required in severe cases; for severe arrhythmia, procedures such as catheter ablation may be performed.
Patients with concerns are advised to seek timely medical consultation.
