A member asked:

I have ectopic heart beats my doctor put me on beater blockers i had to wear a heart monitoring watch?

Excellent!: I agree with both! Beta blockers reduce the frequency and severity of ectopic beats and the monitor will help your doctor know how many ectopics you're having and whether there are more complex arrhythmias present that would require different treatment.
