Hello,
With the question “How is Graves' heart palpitations treated? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Tachycardia is one of the common symptoms in Graves' patients. However, before discussing treatment, doctors want to talk about cardiovascular problems that can be secondary symptoms in Graves' patients, especially arrhythmias.
When conducting a general examination and assessment of cardiovascular status (cardiovascular examination, echocardiography and basic tests), doctors always give patients an additional electrocardiogram to evaluate. heart rhythm and associated irregular rhythms (if any). In many cases, your doctor will order a 24-hour heart rate monitor to identify an acquired arrhythmia.
So with your mother's symptoms, on the background of Graves' disease, take your mother for a follow-up visit to an Endocrinologist for optimal treatment of Graves' disease, thereby further evaluating the possible arrhythmias. symptoms, thereby providing a specific treatment plan.
