Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
These are usually benign and not life threatening. These are frequently associated with caffeine, alcohol, thyroid problems may aggravate these. Acidity may aggravate these. You should also get thyroid test done. Since, you have already undergone all tests like echo and all, I don't think there is any need to worry. You ll need beta blockers like Metoprolol to keep these under control which will help to subside this.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any questions.
