Mgt: If you have been prescribed Albuterol, another medication which is similar but with fewer side effects, called Xopenex may be used The EKG and holter report may be uploaded for a virtual Cardiology consult.

PAC's: For thorough evaluation I recommend a consultation with a cardiologist. He/she will examinations your heart and obtain an echocardiogram to look for valvular or other structural abnormalities, schedule an outpatient holter monitor to determine the frequency of pac's and look for runs of more serious atrial or even ventricular arrhythmias and schedule a treadmill stress test to see exercise effect
