Hello,
I would explain that some ectopic heartbeats are quite normal during physical activity or anxiety.
Nevertheless, I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound and an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to examine her heart function and structure and her heart rhythm trends for a prolonged time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
