Hello

Greetings from HealthcareMagic,

These pauses are nothing but likely the PVCs. Most of the times, these are benign and not dangerous. I think, you should get thyroid profile done to rule out hyperthyroidism. ECG can be normal, if extra beat not occurred during ECG. Holter monitoring will help to confirm the diagnosis.The treatment for is this is beta blockers like tab Metoprolol XR 25 mg once a day, to be increased gradually. So you should go ahead with this prescription. Hope this helps you. Please, get back if you have any other doubts.


Take Care!
