millerc3 asked:

I was just told that I have this condition following an EKG I had done. I’m only 24 years old and it scared me. I would like to know how serious it is and how likely it is for me to have blood clots and have a stroke (like I was told is very possible).

technomanmike asked:

Around two days ago, i started to notice a feeling in my heart like it is skipping a beat or fluttering. I went to the cardiologist today and he said i have premature atrial contractions. I am now wearing a 24 hour holster that records my heart rate. I have around 8 PACs a minute. Should i be worried?
I am seventeen years old, 5 foot 8, and weigh around 160.
