Hi,
These beats are called premature beats and contractions. They are usually harmless. They may increase with anxiety tiredness hunger. If there are rare episodes no need to worry but if they repeat many times in a day for many minutes you have to get an electrocardiography and or 24 hour Holter monitoring for heart rate.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
