hello,
Irregular beats occurs due to atrial fibrillation, so this diagnosis must have been confirmed on holter monitoring. After diagnosis is confirmed, you need to be started on medicines which will maintain you in regular rhythm. So I need to know some details like report, ecg etc so as guide you further.
