Lillian Donovan's breath hitched, and for a moment, she thought she might faint again.
Mrs. Donovan, however, reacted quickly. She turned to the attending physician who had just examined Lillian Donovan and asked, "Does her condition require medication?"
The attending physician, a balding man in his early forties, was taken aback by the sudden question. After a moment's thought, he rubbed his chin and mused, "Heart problems can be either major or minor. Has she had any imaging scans done?"
"We have. All the cardiac examinations have been done, and they found nothing wrong at all."
"If nothing is wrong, then the focus should be on managing her lifestyle, not medication. Besides congenital causes, arrhythmia is often triggered by daily diet and habits. For instance, excessive caffeine from coffee or strong tea, staying up late, alcohol consumption, strenuous exercise, or emotional distress can all be triggers."
