  1. Dylan Pointon - They will start you on a dose of Beta-blockers to stop the tachycardia coming on. something like propranolol or atenolol. Then they will send you to see an electrophysiologist who deals in Irregular heart rhythms and if it is bad enough they will give you a catheter ablation to get rid of the Irregular heart beat. If its a ventricular related issue and ICD will be put in. if its A-fib then you will be on warfarin a blood thinner.

  2. sunnygirl1255 - Before they do anything they will most likely do a whole bunch of tests to see if they can determine why your heart is beating irregular. They will also determine if it is dangerous to beat that way or if it is not dangerous and they can leave it alone.

  3. Laughy - these people should not be diagnosing you without knowing your age.
    It could even be your thyroid
