Brief Answer:
If your heart is structurally Normal than reassurance

Detailed Answer:
If you are not hypertensive and heart is structurally normal than it doesn't need to be treated. You can relaxation techniques such as yoga or pranayama. You should also stop worrying about it than automatically they will reduce. Generally they are of not any consequence. If still persist and trouble some than in consulatation with cardiologist you may start on low dose betablocker
