Premature atrial contractions (PACs) are premature heartbeats that occur in the atria, the heart's upper chambers. PACs do not cause any harm or damage to the heart and can also occur in healthy individuals. However, medical help should be sought if there is any underlying heart condition.

What are the Symptoms of Premature Atrial Contractions?

We will look into the symptoms of premature atrial contractions. But before we delve into the subject, remember that it is wise to purchase health insurance to save yourself from financial stress in times of medical emergencies.

PACs are usually non-threatening and do not require any treatment. There are several premature atrial complexes symptoms, such as:

  • Heart palpitations or extra beats
  • Fluttering in the chest or throat
  • Feeling like you skipped a beat or missed your heartbeat
  • Moments of dizziness or faintness
  • Increase in heartbeat

These symptoms usually occur at night or while you are relaxing, especially when the sinus node slows down.

Conclusion

The diagnosis of premature atrial complexes symptoms is coincidental and can occur in healthy individuals. It is non-threatening and does not require treatment. If you are someone with severe symptoms and getting bothered by them, you should make lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress levels, quitting smoking and caffeine intake, etc.
