Hi
You should take beta blockers for this , as it one of the safest drug
Other being verapamil
With so many variations in the ecg with bigemeny, couplets, it is mandatory for you to take the treatment.
This can be drug induced, occasionally due to alcohol & smoking, caffeine, some antibiotics, electrolyte imbalance, cardiac related problems, infections, ,myocarditis,, thyroid problems.
Kindly evaluate for the same
