Hi There
With palpitations we cant be completely sure that whether they are dangerous or not but as in your case you are having them since your childhood they are probably benign for you. But they they can be exhausting and bothering.
I would like to put you on a trail of low dose beta blockers if you dont have any obstructive airways disease like B. ASTHMA. As that can relieve your symptoms.
Another option is to go for an "ELECTROPHYSIOLOGIGAL STUDY" to find out the focus of origin and cause of them and then they can be ablated giving you complete releif if you are too much symptomatic.
Good Luck
