Suggest Remedy For Heart Palpitations And Normal Reports

Hi, I am a 61 yo male 86kg and 187cm tall in usually good health. Over the past few months I have been having heart palpitations and recently had a major attack at 1 in the morning where I was sent to hospital by ambulance detailed medical checks. All blood tests came back as normal, no sign of heart attack and my BP was always in the normal range 114/68. Resting heart rate averaged around 60 bpm. ECG s showed that I was having regular VEB s (Ventricular Etopic Beat). Stress Test with Echocardiograms showed no abnormalities of the heart . My specialist has recommended that if possible I avoid the use of beta blocking drugs if possible due to their unpleasant side effects and and to avoid stress which can bring these on. I was discharged from hospital a few days ago. Here s the thing: I usually get the attacks worst about 15 to 30 minutes after eating breakfast and they last for for an hour or two. I only have two weetbix with rice milk and decaffienated tea (I have cut out all caffeine, alcohol etc). Do you have any further advice?
