What Causes Heart Fluttering Or Palpitations?

50 year old female. Have had PVC's and PAC's 20 years. Stressed to max about having these. I usually get 10 - 20 a day where I feel a heart zap or a flutter or a pause and a thump. I had a holter which showed nothing and I had stress test which showed 2mm depression so they did a nuclear stress test with the dye injected which checked out a-okay and was told that lots of people have these irregular beats and not to worry as I have a normal heart and said there are a lot of females that have positive false results. Should I pursue this further or just forget about all these irregular beats I get?
