Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Heart rhythm is very important to mantain human health and to secure proper cardiac function.
However, it may turn deadly in a few occasions due to electrolyte imbalance or heart disease.
This is why it's essential to do the following examinations to find out any problems that may be the cause of rhythm disorders:
- Blood work including thyroid hormones and electrolytes.
- Ecg
- Cardiac echo
- Holter monitoring
- Stress test
If all these tests will be normal than you shouldn't worry about your rhythm.

Did you look at ecg?
Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Of course I looked at your ecg and I see re-polarization abnormalies which may be related to electrolyte imbalances or most probably to ischemic heart disease.
However, an abnormal ecg doesn't necessary mean that you have a medical problem. Other examinations (like those recommended above) are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
