Hello ,
What you describe is a premature beat . It can be an atrial or Ventricular premature beat depending from where is arises .
Generally these are benign and may not need treatment . Consdering they must have done an Ecg for you during the hospital visit and there are high chances it may be normal as you need to have that irregular beats during the time they take the ecg for it to be detected . The preffered test for you would be 24 hour holter , which would give us a diagnosis . Also some conditions like thyroid , anemia should be ruled out .
Based he diagnosis the treatment would remain simple medication if at all needed .
Regards Dr. Mody
