[|Human|] I went to a cardiologist and he said my heartbeat is off. As in there is a home base that your heart is supposed to beat at, and mine beats a little bit before. They re doing a heart sonogram and a heart monitor next week. I was having awful heart palpitations every 30 seconds for 3 hours the other day. I get chest pains too. The doctor mentioned open heart surgery if it is really bad, could it really be that bad? What could this mean? Will I need open heart surgery? What are the consequences of my heart beating this way (from best to worst)?
[|AI|]  Hello, Abnormal rhythms almost never lead to open surgery. More than nine out of ten problems causing palpitation are benign and need nothing at all. Medicines are sometimes used but usually just to reduce symptoms. Very rarely, a rhythm will occur that causes severe symptoms and fails to respond to watchful waiting or medicine. When that is the case, it can usually be ad Chat Doctor. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
