Hi there, if your EKG and echocardiogram were normal, then the palpitations you are feeling occasionally are most likely PVC's (premature ventricular contractions) which would not be cause for concern, as they are a relatively benign finding. Since you are feeling the palpitations quite frequently, I would coordinate with your primary care doctor to possibly arrange referral to a cardiologist so that you can obtain 24 hour (or longer) heart monitoring. Sometimes, you can also arrange to wear a monitor where you can hit a button when you are feeling you are missing a heart beat (so that your cardiologist can see if the sensation is related to an abnormal heart rhythm). I wish you all the best and hope my answer was helpful for you.
