Cough is a clinical situation which is experienced by almost every people in the world. It is usually a benign condition representing a self limiting reflex of our body. However, sometimes it can be the first sign of a disease. Premature atrial contraction is a form of supraventricular arrhythmia usually presenting with palpitation, dyspnea, chest pain or chest discomfort.
