Brief Answer:
Following advice
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
What you are experiencing seems to be related to heart palpitations which are caused by premature beats (PACs and PVCs).
You shouldn't worry about them because they are harmless. However I would recommend to do the following examinations to find out what is causing your symptoms:
- Blood work including thyroid hormones
- Ecg
- Cardiac echo
- Holter monitoring
- Stress test
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
