Thanks for posting your question on HCM!
I can understand your problem, nothing to worry.
Age, gender, and duration of the problems not mentioned.
Had you been my patient I would have recommended ECG for detailed analysis. However beta blockers are found to be safe and effective in the treatment of such problem. Beta blockers do not damage your heart, but it is known to cause fatigue, difficulty in breathing (if you are asthmatic), slow pulse. etc.
The cause for this extra beats should be found and detected by relevant lab investigations so kindly consult a cardiologist.
Regards!
