Heart Skips A Beat After Smoking, Drinking Alcohol. Cure For Condition?
Good morning It feels like my heart skips a beat after smoking a cigarette. I have monitored it for 2 mornings now and my heart is fine until i smoke my first cigarette. I use to get this after a drink or two but it is more frequent. I am worried and it feels like the more i stress about it the more it occurs. Please help
The diagnosis and treatment are already there in your statement!
Alcohol and tobacco are the causes.
Stopping them will cure!
Worrying will worsen...
There are counsellors and social support groups, who can help in weaning.
There are also doctors, trained inthe field.
In the mean time, see an Internist or Cardiologist.
You will need physical examination to rule out basic disease.
ECG – routine / exercise / Holter – may be in need for detailed analysis.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
