What Does My Lab Test Report Indicate?
Question: Palpitations for many years. Holter many times. The last report shows ventricular and supraventricular ectopic classified as rare and isolated. Dr had the nurse give me the report. I asked for him to call but they said he's too busy. What is the significance here?
Brief Answer:
Most of the times are benign, but needs to be investigated
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Probable reason for you palpitations is ectopics or extra beats. Most of the times are benign and non life threatening, just cause symptoms. Still we need to structural heart disease and coronary artery disease. So you ll need echo and stress test like treadmill test.
Doctor will prescribe you beta blockers like tab Metoprolol which will suppress these ectopics and symptoms. Overall, prognosis is good and not a matter of worry. Hope this helps you.

I've had those tests in the past and they came back negative for structural heart issues or disease.
Brief Answer:
It's a good thing
Detailed Answer:
It's a good thing, these are benign ectopics. No need to worry about these. Get one tsh level done. I guess there is no snoring at night or obesity.
You should get metoprolol prescribed. Avoid smoking or drugs if any.
